that was Pier 57. weather buoy showed 12-16 foot that day but that was way offshore. it showed 4-6 foot close to shore. A tad exaggerated. It is the 46' Strip Poker boat.

For sure about 4ft. I have logged 59 Months on the Great Lakes and 24 months on the Bering Sea in Alaska on ships. Great Lakes is all wind driven and waves are much closer together and no tides or influence from the moon. In the ocean you have influence from the moon and wind so you get bigger waves but farther apart. (trying to keep this short google for more info). I was in true 15ft waves on a 140ft Ice Breaker in lake MI and I thought we were going to die. (spent 13 months on that ship) I did 36 months on a 225ft Bouy Tender and the most we were in on that ship was 10-12ft waves and it sucked BIG TIME! In the Bering Sea I was on a 213ft ship and we were in 20-30ft seas and that also sucked BIG TIME but the waves where much farther apart (frequency) so we didn't get beat up too bad.

Remember a "small craft advisory" is for boat/ships less than 65ft in length. And it is defined as winds 15-25kts and waves 3-6ft. SO NO WAY this Cig was in 15ft waves on Lake MI!

Here's an a 41' Apache, same day, same place. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY5AUMcJZ4M


....The 38 fountain running with them got some good footage too, but the go pro blew off at 145MPH so it wasn't downloaded

What a load of crap. Any poker run at LOTO has bigger water than that, and I'm fairly certain I've carried more speed through it in my 242ls than this! Lol
