You sure about those kn to mph conversions?

My quick method is knots figure add a tenth then add half that tenth,
ie approx for x1.151
(6075 feet/5280 feet)

Doesn't alter the fact that you've had some 'Dave Wheeler' gusts!

Thanks Karl, that'll teach me to try and do it in my head when I'm all excited!
68 knots, is of course 78 mph.
