I heard the cold water thing too, JO.
All I know is that you really have to be a hardcore boating freak to keep launching into that Beyotch Lake Erie year after year. There is an element of beating your head against the wall when you wait 9 months to go back and get your butt kicked for 2 or 3 months and then wait anxiously 9 more months to go back for another beating. While making payments all year. :D Yeah... count me in!! When she's being nice, she's really nice. Come on spring. |

Come hell or high water, we still go. If I could use some discretion my boat wouldn't be broken now from rough water in Erie.

Here is a shot from two years ago at the Grand Haven Silver Cup Series boat races. This was from hitting a wake and not another boat.

I was in that boat!!!! Worst water I've ever been in. We were coming back in and almost landed on top of a coast guard zoidac that was in between the swells. If I recall correctly 2 hours after they cancelled that race it was a sheet of glass!!!!!!!!! |
Re: Boating on the Great Lakes, is it Offshore
I am thinking that with less density, fresh water can get more sloppy than salt water. Additionally, I have wondered about the perceived impact ( given identical landings ) of a hull in fresh vs salt water.
Do they "feel" the same ? |
