 Last week there were 'high' winds on the San 
Francisco Bay. it was only 25-35 knot winds.
 All the commuter ferries that cross the windiest 
part of the Bat were shut down. They are catamaran 
ferries.
 The explanation was simple; "The catamarans are 
not safe in winds over 30 knots".\ These are VERY 
large catamarans but still are not safe in winds 
over 30 knots.
