We ran out about a mile or so and turned around(had 4 women on board) and when we were about 1/4 mi outside of the pier there were numerous times that when in the trough of a wave we couldn't see anything but water around us and there were times that you could only see the top of a center console. They were realistic 6+ out in front of Charlevoix. It was big water no doubt...not LOTO water, but it was big.

Yes they did. The channel was such a mess that it took some of us including Kemosabe were way behind some of the earlier boats. By the time we got on plane there were no poker run boats in sight. John said the same thing. They couldn't see any others running so they assumed no one was running and they turned back.
