Out here for the day to give a couple of talks at the Four Seasons. In between with a half hour to kill and found a free internet access

Got in late last night and it was dark, but this morning I looked out my window and damn - that's not a lake. Where I come from that's an ocean!

Looks scary to me

Oh well, back to work - I need to earn that rubber chicken lunch I had

Welcome to the shores of Lake Michigan. To bad the weather is crappy or I'm sure we could get you a ride.

An everybody says that ocean water is rougher. HA!

I should have taken a few pics of Lake Huron last week when I was in Canada- it was not water for the faint-of-heart..........
Getting any ocean boater on the Great Lakes will change their mind about our version of 'lake boating'.

Joe, call me.

Lake Erie isn't a joke either, kicks up real fast.

Hey UT,you wanna run a little eliminator out there? Seriously.the Great Lakes demand RESPECT. PERIOD. No matter what the ocean boaters say about us fresh water guys. 6 foot swells are nice compared to 6 foot breakers 10 feet apart. After running with cig1 and D man I can see why they say it gets bigger on the ocean but I don't think it gets any rougher.

We had 10' on the lake last Friday. Not that bad until you realize the waves are only 10' apart as well.

Tell that to the Edmond Fitzgerald.

I have boated in both Lake Erie and Michigan for years. I think Erie is worse . I have seen that lake turn around in an hour Very Choppy !!!
