There has also been a very long tradition in rec.boats of taking differences of opinion directly to ridiculous personal remarks. I disagree with people rather frequently. I'm quite often but not always right when I do. Nowhere except in "cyberspace" are people so quick to back into the corner of "you're a thus and such" when an opinion is questioned or challenged. If my opinion is wrong, I would expect to be told why that opinion is wrong rather than endure some tedious third-person version of "he's wrong, and he's wrong because he's a butthole." Being a butthole, (guilty sometimes) is a different issue that whether or not an opinion has merit. |

Eisboch Nope. 25 foot waves in the middle of the North Atlantic in February won't convince me that the boaters in the other thread suddenly encountered legitimate 7 footers on a day when the weather was otherwise moderate. Chop can be significantly increased by tidal action or river outflow, but I continue to suspect that the folks who lost (or abandoned) their boat embellished the height of the chop in the retelling or, in their panic, overestimated the height of the waves. I may be out of turn as I didn't read the "other" thread .... whatever it was. I also agree that many weekend captains tend to embellish wave height. However, I can also attest to the fact that the sea state in the Northeast can change very quickly and dramatically, often due to a storm or front that is well offshore. Eisboch |

The worst I've experienced as a recreational boater was confused 7-8 footers about 20 miles off the coast of Delaware. Fortunately, it was on the Navigator and although bouncy, we were not in any danger. A passing tropical storm 100 miles offshore was the culprit. At one point, mid-afternoon, we responded to a Coast Guard request to assist a small, open fishing boat that was in trouble near our coordinates, however a commercial ship got to them before us. After that, I opted for an unscheduled overnight at a marina in Delaware until the storm passed and the seas calmed down. Eisboch |

"Officer - I swear it looked like a buffalo". :-) When we were along the ICW in northern Florida, not a day would go by without a couple of overstuffed "cruisers" wallowing on by, tossing off absolutely huge wakes that would wash up and over the marshes, erode the shorelines, rock everyone's floating dock and, on occasion, flip some poor fisherman's little boat along the edges. But we got our revenge, at least with some of them: just north of St. Augustine Inlet, there was a lovely sandbar that lurked just a couple of feet beneath the surface except at dead low tide and managed to give a couple of the oblivious "capitanos" a jolt. |

"Chuck Gould" wrote in message ps.com... That's a description of experience in 5-6 footers on the West Coast. 99% of pleasure boaters, including me, won't normally venture out when prevailing conditions create 5-6 foot windwaves. With this experience and similar frames of reference, it's hard to visualize 7 footers springing up unexpectedly with wind speeds of 10-15 knots. Maybe the laws of physics are different on the East Coast, or maybe the unfortunate crew with the new boat overestimated the height of the waves. I know nothing about west coast boating or the effects of wind or storms on the near shore line. I do know that the Northeast sea states are seriously affected by the near shore bottom topography, relatively shallow water extending many miles offshore in some areas and the irregular, rocky shoreline profiles. Sea state can vary dramatically, location to location under the same general conditions of wind or offshore storms. Ask any recreational boater who, for the first time, travels south on Cape Cod Bay on a calm, flat beautiful day, transits the Cape Cod Canal then become unglued as they hit Buzzard' Bay and their whole world changes.

I don't recall Chuckster spending much time out in the ocean, or at least offering up purple prose about it. Isn't he more of a protected waters bloater, er, boater? I don't know. I confess, I haven't read many of the posts here for the last couple of months. With Mrs. E's blessings, I've spent many more hours on the boats this summer than I have at home and I don't bother with an Internet connection on them. Unfortunately, Labor Day is a reminder that the remaining days are numbered, and the "honey-do" list has now turned into a two book volume. Eisboch I like your airplane. My boat isn't quite big enough to land my plane on. But, the future is coming! -- John H |

Either somebody is going to take it personally, or change the thread to something about unions/politics/nasty commentary about the personal nature of whoever. It's getting freakin' ridiculous. I thought it was perfectly obvious I was poking a little fun at Chuck, but nnoooooooooo - it's gotta be something more than what it was. Unbelievable. Damn... Tom, Harry is most definitely *not* poking fun with his constant barrage of offensive bull****. Your post sounded *very* much like it was authored by Harry. You may think Harry and his 'foibles' are cute, but imitating him is not going to get any laughs. -- John H |

I grew up boating on the eastern end of Lake Ontario and have seen a few 6 and 7 foot waves from a too small boat. It wasn't pretty and I'm lucky to be here. The worst I've experienced as a recreational boater was confused 7-8 footers about 20 miles off the coast of Delaware. Fortunately, it was on the Navigator and although bouncy, we were not in any danger. A passing tropical storm 100 miles offshore was the culprit. At one point, mid-afternoon, we responded to a Coast Guard request to assist a small, open fishing boat that was in trouble near our coordinates, however a commercial ship got to them before us. After that, I opted for an unscheduled overnight at a marina in Delaware until the storm passed and the seas calmed down. Eisboch Did you check the transom height on that small fishing boat? -- John H |
