Even our little Lake St. Clair blows away any other lake in this country. When you can go out of sight of land in any direction that is true offshore boating to me. The only lakes comparable in size are not navigable: Okeechobee and Great Salt Lake. Weekdays are for cruises to Put-in-Bay or up the river to Lake Huron. Weekends are for partying on Muscamoot Bay and capping the day with a burger and fries at Brown's Bar. :)

I remember that year. I was on White Lake with a group of small Donzis waiting for the big boats to come in for the card stop. Some of us ventured out into Lake Michigan into 6 footers there by shore. Only two of us planed out. We quickly went back onto White Lake. Many of the big boats stayed in the harbor and some turned back. The Baja PokerFace ran though. The pics I took are on film. Remember film? lol

been caught on long island sound with an east wind rolling straight down the sound with 8 footers stacked up tight couldn't even turn around had to go all the way over to ct until it died down.
lotsa fun

ROF...been there done that. The east wind on LIS is absolutely brutal. One year a buddy of mine launched out of Stratford in his 21' Four Winns with the intent of meeting us in the Norwalk Islands. Well once he got out there were steep 6's rolling down to the western end, he couldn't turn around. We took the Nordic out to meet him not really knowing how bad the Sound was kicked up, made it past the Cockenoe lighthouse and started to take waves over the bow. We just turned around and said f-it, he aint coming down. No sooner were we about to turn we see this dinky little boat surfing a wave towards us...the dude got out there and had to surf the crest of the wave all the way down or he'd have gotten swamped, he and his passenger where scared white. We all went back to the Norwalk docks and I took him home in the truck, he came down the next day to drive the boat back after the Sound felt like behaving.

It is always fun when ones and twos go to fives to six's in the matter of one beer. That makes for an interesting ride back

Or when you are sitting on the top of a wave between kelleys and marblehead with the bow and drive out of the water at the same time with no power till it drops in. The one and only time the bilge pump kicked on and didn't shut off till we got in to westbay inlet from taking on so much water. I think the grate lakes are by far the most unpredictable and headrest body's of water to boat. Just my opinion thow

Any body of water with enough fetch will be a handful with the right wind conditions.

The comments are a crack up!!! LOL :D :D

what an absolute jackhole! Take your parents out and drench them. Dude, your a complete dork. The look on your fathers face as he's glaring at you the entire trip says it all..."I raised a dip****!"

This has to be my all time favorite:

@:18 just comes screaming thru like a mad man lol

You all know why offshore race boats that were only 20+ feet long all of a sudden went to 40+ footers?
