ah, bill, "surf" means **breaking** waves, waves that don't travel all
that
far.



I agree completely. Surf is a wave. Further, it is patently obvious that
a number of those who have ocmmented here haven't a frippin' clue as to
what happens or may happen in an ocean coastal area during a serious storm.

Last year, during the hurricane, Bay waters were pushed by tides, wide
and surge five city blocks up into the town of Chesapeake Beach. There
were four foot waves breaking over several parking lots and part of the
main street. Several of the houses blocks uphill from the Bay had high
water marks on them shingles four to five feet off the ground.

I suspect dockside boaters like Dennis and would stain their shorts if
they ever had to run one of our rougher Atlantic Ocean inlets. I've seen
lake boaters like him look at what was involved and turn the helm over
to someone who had some idea of what to do.

I don't know what JaxAss is trying to prove, other than being
argumentative. He's got a dippy little sailbote that doesn't look as if
it could safely cross Long Island Sound.

Gee, JaxAss, how long does a wave have to be a wave before it is
considered a wave?

Got any data?

hoary, *you* were talking about those demon five foot waves breaking through
downtown Balto, not me. I was just pointing that should one exist at all --
and unlikely situation given the shallow depth of the Bay -- it won't exist for
very long, certainly not long enough to make it even thirty feet up the first
street it hits.

which bote (sic) is that, hoary? my porta-bote (which has not sail) or my
Achilles (which has no sail) or my inflatable kayak (which has no sail) of the
bote (sic) which carries all those other botes (sic) and which does have a
sail?

Nope. Never mentioned Bal'Mer.
But four footers were running down the main street of Chesapeake Beach.

The main streets of Chesapeake Beach run parallel to the beach, sort of
like a boardwalk does. A substantial storm surge pushed up into the
town, with four foot waves on the surge. The surge was huge, the biggest
ever recorded on that part of the Bay, if my recollection is correct.

Got the picture now, JaxAss, or are you still going to maintain that an
event you know nothing about happened differently than it did, because
your peabrain cannot conjure it?

You still trolling for guys in that Speedo swimsuit? There's a couple of
righties in here who will give you a tumble.

Your clapped-out old sailbote...the one that wouldn't make it from
Milford to Port Jeff. If you could find Port Jeff.
