I merely offer this as a reality-based arguement about how difficult this proposed "race" might prove to the average, non-racing boater. That water looks fun! Does a Go Pro really smooth it out ? Nobody :party-smiley-004: going 120 what about WW |
Thanks Kreed...I am a huge fan of them now myself!
Jim...here's another vid I took off Miami later in the day...the waves were easily 6-8 feet...I just wish the camera had captured it better. Just watch the bow move and you'll get the idea...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orUQZ...ature=youtu.be |

I'd guess 3 to 4s. Guarantee if there's 6 to 8 on Lake Michigan none of y'all will go out. Plus the way I was brought up when you're in anything bigger then 4s life jackets are mandatory.
Agree on the 6-8s, though...and (once again) the point of my posts is that despite all the big internet balls we constantly see waved on this site...the reality might be different. And YES Jim...I'd love to do the run...although (don't hate me for this) I don't really like onion rings. Lol.:whistle: |

I said 5-6 wit a 7 not 8 not 25 :angry-smiley-038::lolhit: O and I have and will go out bigger, You boat on Lake Michigan and that's what you get or go home. I have been the only boat many times to leave Hammond and go out with big waves. All black 38 Scarab / custom paint 38 Awesome Cat The old T-Dock boys should remember. (Sorry on the old) |
