a "few miles" ain't nuthin in the context of five foot waves in 20 knot winds.
nuthin.

zero. zip. nada. squat.


It was small compared to the Great Lakes, but the lake had a fetch of a few
miles.

I have been on small lakes in a storm with 20 knot winds, that had 3 to 5
ft. waves,

no you haven't. 20 knots winds take a long time and long fetch to get to
be 3
to 5 foot waves, and even then you need water most usually deeper than is
found
in a "small lake".
