Default Can't even handle Lake Michigan waves in a 35-footer, WTF????

With all due respect, Wilbur, until you've sailed in Lake Michigan, which is
pretty shallow in most places (making long-period waves difficult), you have
no idea of how challenging it CAN be.

I'm a bit perplexed about the loss of life, however, as at least some of the
crew managed to get a locator on the end of the keel, and a MOB pole stuck
in the rudder post hole...
