Anyone go out boating today in the Great Lakes? How crazy was it?
 

I'm looking out my window and also the data bouys. Winds of 30-45 knots and waves 3-15 ft high...

Anyone feel dangerous and go out lately? How was it?

If I was on the westside of the state I would go out. I am sure my boat would break in half, but hey, as everyone always says, Life Jacket and Lanyard must help!!!

But in all seriousness I would go out in this weather if someone asked. Would have to be the right skipper on the right vessel. I would man my Baja Solo for some fun, again like I said, it would probably break in half, I am not saying this boat is anywhere near great. But with a few years of Cold water survival. I would at least be ready for a mishap (or at least I hope it would go that smoothly). Current water temps are still around 60 degrees, so you got a few hours!

I thought about it, but HUGE waves breaking over the walls and shore...so decided it was not so smart. Water is still plenty warm...but it would be just plain stupid.

I doubt anyone on the west side COULD have gone out. When the waves start rolling like that, it's tough even to navigate out through the pier heads!

Here is some Video i shot yesterday on the big lake

Quality isn't that great the rain was blowing straight into the camera lense
