No question that 7 footers do happen on LI Sound from time to time but
not that often, and almost certainly not within the last two weeks.
However, the waves *do* look bigger when you are floating in them and
looking up. I sometimes experience that effect running around in my
too low transomed inflatable in big water.


Did somebody say low transom?

Surprising that Wayne doesn't have a high transomed inflatable to go
with his overinflated ego and floating Winnebago.
