A 5' wave will break in 6.5'

more like 30 feet

of water,
making much of the Chesapeake incapable of supporting it,

*if* you read that, dood -- and obviously you either did not or otherwise you
purposely misunderstood it -- you would have noticed that it is anecdotal data
not measured data that *projects* what might happen in a cat or cat 5 hurricane
that makes a direct hit.

geesh, dood. read for crying out loud.

hoary, have you ANY idea what fetch is? obviously you have no idea how fetch
affects things, but do you even know what fetch is?

He's trying to get someone to buy into a long, inane argument on the

making much of the Chesapeake incapable of supporting it, of course this
disregards many other factors.


It's along the edges in the mid-Bay where it shallows up. There's plenty
of water once you are away from shore a ways. At the Calvert Cliffs, for
example, once you are out a half mile or so, there's 20' of water, and
you can watch your depth gauge drop down to 80-90' or so as you get to
the channel.



" Wave heights in the Harbor (Baltimore) are minimal. The maximum wave
height that can be expected is 5 ft."

"Dependent on the wind speed and duration, winds from the north or south
have the greatest fetch in Chesapeake Bay. Pilots indicate that wave
heights in the upper Bay do not normally exceed 6 ft during severe
weather. However, the width of the lower Bay provides considerable fetch
for strong westerly or easterly winds that could be associated with
tropical cyclones. Easterly winds can produce the highest waves at the Bay
mouth that can result in wave heights of 10 ft or more."

The comment I offered here was on the depths of water I've measured in a

Thunder is right: you simply are trying to suck posters into another of

Must have been frightful, especially since it was accompanied by 3-5
footers. Scary stuff....eh Krause?

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.

I just sold a 3200 Maxum SCR. Prior to that I had a Sundancer 270. Prior
to that I had a Chris Craft Scorpion 210. Any my very first boat was a 16
foot trihull for inland lakes. I have been on the water all my life.

We live less than a mile from the Lake. We boated for the past 25+ years
and have been in waves up to 6-8 footers with the Maxum...in fact from
Leamington, Canada to Kelley's Island. We went out regularly in 3-5 footers
to get to the islands. I picked up the Searay and delivered it to our dock
in at least 3-5 footers.

And if you don't know that waves are observed in a 3-5 foot category, as
well as others, then you obviously don't boat.

Yep 3-5 footers are not comfortable but they are not terrible.

So what boat do you have?

years.


Good for you.

Then what? Rocked and rolled on a mooring ball or rafted off to other
boats bouncing like a yo-yo?


Have you ever been to Kelleys and docked at Seaway? Not much rocking and
rolling there. Even Unique Marker is pretty well protected. Did the
mooring buoys at Put in Bay once during the day and the Lake was pretty flat
though.

Well, OK if you say so.


Yep 3-5 footers are not comfortable but they are not terrible.


All I can say is, I think you are not very good at judging wave height.


I rely on what is being reported and my experience. White caps form at
about 3. When it is 3-5 out there you will see 5 footers. Believe
otherwise if you want.

And you are an expert at wave heights? Ever been out in 3-5's? BTW...I
would not go out in them when we had the 21 footer.



So what boat do you have?


http://thebayguide.com/rec.boats/wallys.html


So you cannot handle 5 footers in the boat? Seems like it is not the boat
but the captain.

Looks like Huron Lagoons Marina. We were there for 7 years. You would not
happen to be that drunk across from us (when we were there on the D side)
who fell in the water every weekend would you?

sailing rig..... an anchor, perhaps?


good question, gene. so why are you and hoary debating if my sunfish (or
Sunfish) has a sailing rig or not?

no, gene, my inflatable kayak does not need a sail, and I store it on the

If your boat is made by Vanguard, it is a Sunfish.... if you have

I'm well aware of that, Jax

so, why did you say you weren't aware of that? a senior moment, gune?

gune, Sunfish (the brand name) have been in production over 50 years, not the
25 or 30 years you stated. I believe (meaning I could be wrong) that all
production Sunfish from sometime in the late '50's or early '60's were
fiberglass. I believe that Sunfish (the brand name) plans were available from
Sunfish (the brand name) to the public until sometime in the '60's, and these
homemade sunfish were made of plywood, as the original Sunfish were (though the
orginal Sunfish, I believe, had no footwell).

gune, my use of lower case and upper case was an effort at levity (which is
quite different from, trust me on this one gune, levitate), that seems utterly
beyond any rational world you inhabit on a day by day basis.

I didn't, Jax. In the late 60's they were still Sunfish.... all
wood, perhaps, but Sunfish, nevertheless.

What I said was that I didn't understand what sort of importance *you*
attached to your frequent mention of capitalization quirks a la
"sunfish (even Sunfish)."

You still haven't explained yourself. Again, what is it that you are
trying to say?

gune, like all with low IQ's, is utterly lacking in the capability to
understand levity, or levitate.

gune, my use of lower case and upper case was an effort at levity (which is
quite different from, trust me on this one gune, levitate), that seems

utterly
beyond any rational world you inhabit on a day by day basis.


sunfish (even Sunfish) oh, OH, OHHH!!!....... ROFLMAO, how
hilarious... little s, BIG S ..... Oh, Geeze... stop it, you're
killing me....... ROFLMAO, again.


Can you do that with any other letters?

gune shows us -- though I am sure did not intend so -- that he can google, as
indicated by his use of a specific year.

there is no reason for him to know that unless he worked at the factory,
obviously not the case as shown by his lack of mentioning it and his lack of
understanding between a Sunfish and a sunfish.

I believe (meaning I could be wrong) that all
production Sunfish from sometime in the late '50's or early '60's were
fiberglass.


Maybe we had old boats... they were wood. The date you are reaching
for is 1959.
