We had a 25 mph headwind all the way out with 35 mph gusts.I wouold be riding along working pretty hard at 12.5 mph and as the gusts hit I would be instantly at 11 mph. Normally this would be somewhat compensated for by a tailwind on the way back but I guess it was more a cross wind as we turned back.

 
Congratulations! 12.5 mph into a 25 mph headwind takes quite a bit of
power, something close to 400 Watts. I'm very amazed a guy your age can
do that!
 

23 miles and average speed of only 8.18 miles per hour average ...

 
Ah. 8.18 mph sounds much more believable. That might be around 200 Watts.

What do you know about the conditions? Must you and Liebermann always pretend to be experts about things you know nothing of?

My alleged lack of expertise has no effect on your intelligence or
expertise.  I could be a Nobel Prize winner or a complete idiot and
you would still be Tom, who can't discuss technical calculations and
who delivers insults in place of knowledge.

Tom:  Do you really believe that insulting people will make you seem
smarter?  Judging by your over-use of the phrase "always pretend to be
experts about things you know nothing of", it's quite possible.
