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

No question that 7 footers do happen on LI Sound from time to time but
not that often, and almost certainly not within the last two weeks.
However, the waves *do* look bigger when you are floating in them and
looking up. I sometimes experience that effect running around in my
too low transomed inflatable in big water.


Did somebody say low transom?

:-)




Surprising that Wayne doesn't have a high transomed inflatable to go
with his overinflated ego and floating Winnebago.
