I have heard a lot about the choppier waves in the Great Lakes.

Lake Erie is THE most unpredictable of the great lakes. It is so
shallow, that a storm can blow up behind you, and overtake you BEFORE
you can out-run it!! Keep that radio ON.

I boat in Florida, no stranger to strong weather systems. Can't you
see these storms building?
I know a lot of people seem to boat without ever looking up but
usually these things signal their intentions to build long before they
actually get any strength. Every boater should also be a weather
watcher.


You don't need a storm for things to get weird in the Great Lakes. You could
have a two foot chop one day that's no problem, and the next day, the chop
comes from 3 different directions, all at the same time.
