Yea right. Lol many times I went to that island when you sat on the dock Haha |
There has never been one time with any of my boats that the water kept me from going I used to take my 24 out in 6 to 8 footers just to get to that stupid island with the Cig and my 32 Baja I never thought twice about it no matter what the water was
The scariest time was 6 to 8 footers in the first week of May with water 40° and I had a storm coming in and dark was close, I had a wire short out and I lost one of my engines and I could not get the hatch open to see where the smoke was coming from somehow I figured out there was a shorted wire I got everything working and I got to land as fast as possible. That was probably the only time I have ever been afraid of big water because I knew if there was a fire and I had to jump in I only had a few minutes to live

Everything pointed to don't go, if it had been raining I probably would have drawn the line there. The three of us that went over that night were all counted on each other to go. I think we were all waiting for someone to back out. I'll never forget that feeling I had when i pulled up to the launch, i think you have to be a little bit crazy to go through with that.

I'm glad they found the three stranded fisherman OK. Two duck hunters just died on Lake St. Clair. These waters are not safe this time of year. |
What size boats? I feel pretty safe in a 35-38ft offshore boat in big water, not a 18-24 ft duck or fishing boat... Huge difference

Hopefully find something different to do next summer other than the bay weekend.
Tim, I made it to Kelly's two and a half times, lol, you were only there for the half time, so get your stuff fixed. |
