not from a thunderstorm they haven't. t-storms don't last long enough to
make
5 foot let alone 6 foot waves.

Unless, one is telling the story in a bar later.

Wow, Jax, I didn't realize you boated in the Chesapeake Bay! You seem to
know
everything about everything, like Harry.

Poor dumb John...another fool suckered in by the dark side but living
off liberal programs.

The latest forecast for Chesapeake Bay:

Tonight
NE wind increasing to 25 to 30 kt with gusts up to 40 kt...then N 35 to
40 kt with gusts up to 50 kt after midnight. Waves 2 ft...building to 5
ft after midnight. Widespread heavy rain and scattered tstms in the
evening tapering to scattered showers overnight.


Gusts up to 50 mph? On the Bay...

Too bad it'll be dark...watching five footers or more on the Bay would
be a sight to see.

It's not uncommon for 5-footers in English Bay. Calm out there this
weekend, though: tried fishing off the Pink Appts, anchored off Wreck
Beach and took Near Cove in, then motored over to Kits beach, anchored,
and took Near Cove to Bard On The Beach. Spent the night anchored, then
docked at Granville Island this afternoon for some shopping. Just got
back: What an Excellent "West Coast Weekend"!

Five footers on Chesapeake Bay ain't pretty. It's not like five footers
out on the ocean. On the Bay, waves that size are going to be breaking,
and with the shifty winds, coming at you from several directions, and
with the peaks fairly close together. Running five footers on the ocean
can be fun; on the Bay, it loosens your fillings.

No worse than 5 footers on shallow Lake Erie. Not fun but no big deal.

obviously. five footers on the Bay are a once in a lifetime thing whispered
about in bars for decades afterwards.

You really don't know **** from shineola, fella. While such waves are
not common, we do get them, and we have shifty winds, and they're
usually breaking, especially in some of the navigable bays. Choppy,
annoying stuff.

Five footers on the ocean are common as that cheapo plastic sailboat of
yours.

no, 5 footers on the Bay -- should they EVER exist -- would be trouble.

That depends upon the skill of the boat captain and the capabilities of
the boat. It would be trouble for you and your blistered little sailbote.
