I'd definitely not do it in the winter months;


Sound advice. ALthough traditionally, January has a nice big High for
a couple weeks producing light variable winds and glassy seas. I think
pilots call that condition a "sucker hole" looks
inviting.............. then it closes up and u r in big trouble.


summer is your best bet.


Typicall summer weather...................... NW 15-30K, seas W or NW
8-20', air temp 58 F, water temp 50-53 F, FOG.

DOnt sond too much fun on a lake boat.

If I were to do it I'd much rather have an able-bodied and knowledgeable
crew member along.


Then your AB crew says your nuts and makes decessions counter to yours
bwe cause the AB is more knowledagble......... then what. A boat can
have only one captain.
