Gale Force Winds at Man O War Cay, Bahamas. We have located our Beneteau 40 sailboat in Man O War Cay to ride out our first big winter blow here in the Bahamas. The gale force winds started the night before and continued for 2 days. We made the VERY smart decision to travel to a location that we could connect to a mooring ball to ride out this winter storm. The winds are strong but luckily the temperature is still a beautiful 75 for a high in DECEMBER!
