Nice, yeah 40 is a mild blow... Relative to the last couple days though it was different... I've worked in the South Atlantic, as far south as you can go in Brazilian waters... And 40 wasn't even note worthy... Like you said... Worst I ever saw was in the Med, sand storm, 11 meter seas, in 350 feet of water, wind and rain blowing uphill... We broke three tensioner wires in 12 hours... That was rough... I don't know that it hit 86 but it was howling...
