I read earlier today that gusts were hitting 130km (80mph)! Yikes. Hope Steve is secure.
This will give some idea of what's going on there, search and rescue underway;

"Our Sqn. just launched in search of a distressed 26 ft sail boat, 150 KN miles of St.John'sNewfoundland. Single handed, Sails torn and taking on water. Reports are he was heading east to Europe, just a kayak on board for dingy. roughly 44. 26 29 lat - 53. 20. 58 long last given position.
should know more tomorrow if successful in finding him, weather pretty turbulent up this way right now don't think I would want to be crossing this late in the season."

Scary stuff . . . "The unforgiving sea." I'll keep that sailor in my prayers.
