A. Earlier in thread I wrote that I rode my bike out to breakwall to ck conditions and watched boats disappear between waves.

B. Also wrote that only the last two waves in video (where you can count the seconds before the boat lands in the wave troughs) we’re/are indicative of actual wave size.

C. Wind was westerly that day (as it normally is in west end of Erie) and we were exiting the harbor on the east side of the island which put us into the lee of the island until we exited out of it.

Which was starting to happen at end of video.

Think what you want.

Some people’s opinions concern me.
Yours is not one.

It's much different than Lake Michigan. The waves are steeper and closer together. It was doable but still a handful in our 43.
