Hanging feet off the bow she was probably being hit by 6 inch waves.

This shed light on why you never leave sight of land ... you're terrified of 6 inch waves!

Where did he say a wave crashed on his bow? Are you doing this to support
your claim of
credibility?

Scotty's claim:
Lisa was sitting on the bow, feet over the side catching waves, screaming
like a little girl when one crashed over on her.

Duhhhhh!!!

Freeboard of that boat must be lower than in the pics. 6 inches??? Don't think
so!

Ohhh Bubbles, you need to sail somewhere other than your pond.

Remember... he "sails" in the matrix.

The waves were around 2'. Every now and then, a group of 3 or 4 big waves
(4'?)would roll by. I've noticed this for some time, they always seem to be
in a group of 3 or 4. Not power boat wakes.

The wake goes a loooooooooong way.

That's normal wave pattern...When they post that waves will be 2-4 ft, they do not mean that is a range but the norm. There
will be some smaller and some larger. Lake Michigan likes the "3 big wave" pattern, too...sometimes it's one building on top of
another with shorter troughs between them...really difficult when on the quarter...

Scott,
I watch a show on TLC a few years back. Couple of scientists were doing
some research on waves in general. I remember they set up a demo that
showed that small waves can synchronize and in effect become the occassional
bigger wave. Perhaps you are seeing this?

Wave heights are often reported as "significant wave height," computed as the average of
the highest 1/3 of the waves. The data from ocean buoys is broken in Swell Height and
Wind Wave Height, plus direction and period for each.
