Sailing things right

So little deviation from "normal" pressure, but so much trouble.
My morning started at 5am with the first 25+ gusts.
At about 11 got 35 knots for a few minutes and then gradually easing up to 6pm.
The seabed here is grassy so I got some drag, but not much to get concerned about.
Out there in the bay the wind was way more nasty. I was glad that I'm not there.
So, I'm good, planning further moves.
