Sorry, Gould, but I don't completely agree. First of all I'm not telling
people to make a crossing in gale force winds. Second a small boat can
handle quite a bit IF YOU KNOW HOW TO MINIMIZE WEATHER ON YOUR BOAT!
df-
So how does one minimize weather on a boat? Say a 24' Sedan cruiser on
Lake Michigan?
I was wondering that, too. Maybe he uses an umbrella.
There's a chapter for neophytes like you in Chapman, Wally. It is called
Special Seamanship Techniques. If memory serves, it discusses a number
of ways to reduce the impact of severe weather on you and your boat when
you are at sea.
On a sailboat, for example, you might want to reef the mainsail and
your genny to depower the sail plan.
Of course, I have no idea whether you even have a boat, Wally. Are you a
boater, or just one of the Neo-Con-Vict riff-raff that bespoils this
newsgroup?
