some might be pretty surprised at what the Great Lakes kick up... Lake Michigan, and Lake Erie have hosted some pretty serious off shore racing back in the day that made a few boats wonder 'what the f$(k was that'. Do a search on here its been brought up time and time again how snotty the water can get and how fast it turns.
Not uncommon to head out for the afternoon in 2's and come back in 6's a couple of hours later.

I was kind of surprised they called it as well, but I was happy as HELL to be off the lake when the storm that caused the cancellation kicked up. I had just put the boat on the trailer when it hit....80+mph winds...lake went from 1 footers to 8 footers in no time flat and kept rolling all night and into the next day (which was to be the day of the race). I actually had to pull my truck over on the highway as I couldn't see past the hood when that thing hit. It was NASTY.
