If it's blowing 35 again I might leave him home!

Jax,
Boy - Are you ever wrong.... I went to school in that water (and finished my first degrees and got first real license). I am now out here in the sweet water, and you had better believe what John is saying about the traffic here and particularly in the area he is sailing. The case is actually every bit as bad as Throg's Neck and Execution Rock. In the case that you don't, pull up the chart for the south end of the Detroit River and then get the listing for vessel passages. Then add to the list that the Canadian side of the line is heavily populated with fish traps that can stretch a mile oe so and all the water less than ten feet deep is so weeded up that you can't get a keel through it. The only thing he doesn't have to deal with is tide changes. I haven't been to this ng in a while, but the first thing I get to read (that is not a OT politic) when I get here is this.

"large commercial vessels" and freighters are uncommon, moving slowing when they are there, are well lit, are not the least bit shy in sounding their horns, travel in highly predictable paths, freighter NEVER go into the area where the two barge buoys are, etc. etc. etc. gf was fictionalizing. |

Blowing 35 here today...woke up this morning (was supposed to be 8-12 knots)
to the wind in the rigging...steadily built until noon so we decided to leave...rowing back to the dock (we're WAAAYYYY out in the mooring field) is a real pain when you've got both wind and waves and getting Choppie into the dinghy when there's heavy chop is a very interesting experience....
