gudmundur,
Isn't Lake Erie a bit shallow a mile off shore? What would you see,
sand, weeds? I've done a few dives in Lake Huron about a mile of
Lexington. There's a wrecked tug boat named the Sport that's at 60 feet.
Also a wrecked freighter named the Price that about the same depth.
Still found it rather boring but a good excuse to stay in practice and
wet. Crunching up zebra mussels and feeding them to the golbies was
about it. Visibility was about 20 feet, not the best.

My little boat is only a 15ft 4Winns open bow Catalina (Like the
current Horizon models). I would like to do some 'near shore' diving
on Lake Erie, no more than perhaps 1 mile off shore. Is this boat
just to damn small? Off course I am sensible enough to only go out
on a calm day.

I am thinking back all those years ago when I was only about 12,
and my family had a 22ft Trojan cabin cruiser at Conneaut Harbour,
and I felt that even the 22 footer was 'challenged' once off shore
a distance. I think I have seen bigger waves on Erie in a storm, than
I have at Virginia Beach.
