If you check out this bouy you'll see 92L is starting to pack a nice punch.

Not too shabby.

Could these winds be caused by the friction between the developing low pressure system and the high to the north, and not just the low itself?

Yes, that is a pretty big root to the cause.

Watch this:

Station 41008 - GRAYS REEF - 40 NM Southeast of Savannah, GA
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41008
Reporting winds near 20 knots.

Station SPGF1 - Settlement Point, GBI (Grand Bahama Island)
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=SPGF1
Reporting winds less than 10 knots.

:hmm:

Can someone explain why a bouy hundreds of miles can be reporting stronger winds than a bouy near the storm?
