The Chesapeake Bay has a huge amount of commercial traffic. Head boats,
party boats, car carriers, container ships, LNG ships.
Yes, and they travel at 20+ kts leaving a pretty big bow wave that
travels for miles.
So who was talking about commercial traffic?
We were. What diference does it make? A wake is a wake.

Deal with it, as soon as Lake Eerie warms up 6 or 7 months from now.
Cleveland was on the 6 o'clock news tonight and the weather looked
miserable, nice medical center though.


I know you've been on LIS up near The Race when a sub comes out of New
London. I swear, it's about the only time I've ever been surprized by
the size and depth of a wake - had just about enough time to quarter
the three waves or I would have taken a ton of water aboard the
Ranger.

Talk about a wake. :)
