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.


Harry gives a good description of what 5 footers are on Lake Erie.

Anyone that says 5 footers on Lake Erie are no big deal, watch them on
tv from their living room.

Sorry Wally, been out in 3-5's many times. No big deal.


Three footers and five footers on Lake Erie are two completely different
animals.

No kidding.....especially on the west end when the wind is coming from the
east.



What boat do you have?
