Default A/T's in Rough water

I just wanted to say that if it was not for my 37 Active Thunder today we would not have felt as safe and would have never tried to cross Lake Erie in its fury. 12' Rollers and mixed slop running at 42 MPH from PIB back to home. I would have never attempted this in any other boat. Awesome job Pat and thank you A/T for a Job well done. P.S. My wife thanks you for one hell of a stable ride.

Where? I wanna see it. We tried doing the Kellys run a few years ago in 6-8. Needless to say our whole group turned back.

Way back from PIB yesterday, the Jet Express was taking waves over the top, peaks where at 6' above sea level making 12' swells per noaa. luckily we could run in the troughs from east to west, 27 knots winds from the NE makes for one hell of a mix.

AT Chris and I trailer back up to st. Clair that day. Forecast 4-6 tight chop. We were the only ones out and were able to run WFO. Awesome day! Should've seen the peoples faces wherever we pulled in... priceless
