I would like to settle this debate for once and for all.

Here are some photos that depict conditions in real seas.

I think that we can agree that conditions like these cannot be found
on
"Lake" Michigan!


It's a front Donal, Fronts cross the Sea of Michigan all the time.

Sea conditions look quite calm in your picture.

Best guess is there are around 5000 sunken ships in the great lakes.
It may not be a sea but it acts like one at times.

The biggest waves ever witnessed on Lake Michigan were estimated to be
around 75 to 80 feet. The biggest on Lake Superior were estimated to be
about 10' higher. Rare? Yup, but they can occur. And when they do the
brief spacing between them is what destroys ships. I've been in 30s in the
Caribbean, and I'd much rather have those than 10 footers on Lake M. or Lake
Erie.

Sorry my machine was set on 1/8 of a mile and I only saw the first
photo.

Great pictures, I like the one of the stern shot of the Supply Boat
almost standing up on end. You know anyone in the forward bunkrooms
where either flying up to meet the overhead or shattering teeth when
the bow slams down.

And the oh **** drawing behind the pictures is cool as well. Nothing
like having your whole boat underwater.
