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.
I imagine the folks who boat the Chesapeake Bay all the time will tell
you the same thing. That's the way I remember it.
Naw. The Bay has a hard crop, but in all the years I've been out boating
on it, I've only encountered what I consider dangerous wave conditions
once.
I did most of my boating in the potomac (Port Tobacco or Ft
Washington) and my family is from the St Georges Island area so I
spent a lot of time in the south bay and river down there in big boats
but I do remember getting the crap knocked out of me the few times I
tried to take a 16' boat out of Deale.
Deale is where I kept mine also. A 16'er is a tad on the smallish side
except for the calm days. If the waves were over the 'one foot' range, I'd
probably not take a 16'er out.
