Not sure the point in comparing one large body of water with another.
If you're swamped and drowning, you won't really care how often which
body is bumpy. I grew up on the water here and lived here for 60
years. I'm just saying, otherwise competent people come down here on a
regular basis and underestimate the Gulf's unpredictable nature, much
to their regret. And it happens fairly often, every damn year. I
don't know why.
