''a mile away''? Now you're just being stupid.


A couple of things:

1) You have never been on Lake Erie when a 1,000 ft ore boat with 60,000
tons of ore on board, travelling at 25 knots goes down the lake on the
assigned mid lake course.

You know by the bow wave they leave as they pass you 4-5 miles away.

2) You obviously have you head where the moon doesn't shine.
