What's the most Average water you've ever boated in?

Since we have a big water and a flat water thread. Shouldn't we have a thread for those of us in between? 60% of the time I boat on average water every time I go out. Just wondering if others do as well!
Why I remember this one time I had my 26 Nova II on Lake Michigan. It was 70 degrees out, the water was 70 degrees and I bet the waves were at least 7.0" tall (3' converted to the OSO system :-D). We got passed by 7 Formulas that were running 70 mph. The motors ran great, 70 psi oil pressure at Wot. We drank like 70 bucks worth of beer that day, and stopped to pee 70 times. We were out for like 7 hours, then came back and put 70 gallons of fuel in the tank. Man that sure was an Average day on Lake Michigan!
This year I may need to replace all seven tires on the trailer though. They still hold 70 psi, but are looking a little weathered.

If I didn't build boats for a living it would be worse...

I have tracked this and my numbers are working out to 50% of the time I am running in or below average water. I need to rewrite the algorithms and determine what percentage I am running in above average water.

Damn, another day of snow staring at another week of sub freezing temps......

Much more of this and I might have to start having sex with the wife again.....!

I had your average 33 outlaw, with some average 496 power, running
your average cruise, (about 45-50). It was average summer weather and water ,
with the average number of boats. Overall my friends and I had your
average day.

Alright I'll play. The most average water I've boated in would be in between rough and flat. Right in the middle. I know it's hard to picture but trust me, I've done it a couple times.
