I'm on a freshwater river that goes into Penobscot bay (Atlantic) . Not unusual to see everything from flat calm to 6-8 footers in the same day. Never boring up here!!

And while we are on the subject of "why would anyone do that" You sir, need to turn in your man card for simply asking a question like that. Do not pass go, Do not collect $200, go sit in the corner starring at your Justin Beiber posters and listen to Barry Mannilow records as you discuss the fluffyness of the quiche you made for brunch with your douche flute huffing, man bun wearing metrosexual butt buddy, now drop and give me 20 you blow boat loving scum!!!!!

How far away is LOTO from you?
Or Grand Lake in OK?

Both are about 11 hours away.

and yes you are absolutely correct that it is counterclockwise

I've never even heard of this. Is this a "law" or something?

You know the water is big when you can't keep the props loaded while struggling to get on plane. Been there & done that with a 39' stinger.

I live on the Chesapeake Bay which is thousands of square miles of water but most of it is shallow so it don't take much to stir things up. This is me coming home from the blue angles in my 19' boat. You have to build them tough to last around here. Mine happens to be build in 1972 and still around so it fits the bill.
