Only thing I see is the long long fetch and shallow areas that would produce some really scary waves.... Indeed. plus the fact that it's always so frickin cold! It certainly is when the possibility of really big waves is at hand. Mostly between November and March. Summer can be hot, sultry, and absolutely calm. We once crossed Lake Michigan during the summer "doldrums." I phoned my father from what was as close to the exact center of the lake as possible, and told him that I typically see bigger waves in my bathtub. It was dead flat, hazy, and the damn black flies were biting everything in sight, including our poor pup. Miserable. And hard to believe that at that very place some waves of more than 50' have existed and probably will again. Max Ahhh, I'll take ocean sailing, and the almost constant warm breezes around here...thanks :-) So will I. There's a lot of rhetoric around here about how great fresh water is and all that. I'll take the salt any day. It's clearer, cleaner, and I can actually float in it. And between 15 degrees N and S it's nice and warm. Max |
