Yes a mighty wind! It is a force 9 on the 0-12 Echelle Beaufort Scale. Presently there is 5 force levels beyond that. A force 9 is 'fighting the pirates strong gale'.
The Song Of The Pirates
With the time of the rough weather Comes the time of the pirates. Here come the devils, bourne by the wind.
They ride on the ocean; Their boats cleave the waves. They are brothers to the hurricane.
They bring the woes of the tempest. Leave the sea to the running dogs.
The foam in their mouths Spews over the crest. Leave the sea to the running dogs!
