The Chesapeake Bay has a huge amount of commercial traffic. Head boats,
party boats, car carriers, container ships, LNG ships.

Yes, and they travel at 20+ kts leaving a pretty big bow wave that
travels for miles.

So who was talking about commercial traffic?

We were. What diference does it make? A wake is a wake.

Deal with it, as soon as Lake Eerie warms up 6 or 7 months from now.
Cleveland was on the 6 o'clock news tonight and the weather looked
miserable, nice medical center though.

Waine, you misspelled Lake Erie. Just a heads up.

I know you've been on LIS up near The Race when a sub comes out of New
London. I swear, it's about the only time I've ever been surprized by
the size and depth of a wake - had just about enough time to quarter
the three waves or I would have taken a ton of water aboard the
Ranger.

Talk about a wake. :)

Harry,
Do you read what SWS said to Charile and BAR when they were accusing
you of not owning a lobster boat? It is just as boring and stupid
when you do the same thing.


Sorry, Reggie, but I don't pay much attention to the crap posted here by
the likes of BAR and Charile. In fact, I don't even recall a Charile.
Perhaps you like reading the posts of idiots on a regular basis, but I
do not.

There's no reason to believe you have a boat.

Sorry you missed SWS's post, he was basically saying that the subject of
who has a boat and who makes up bs really is stupid, and gets real old
real fast, that only an idiot would keep it up. I am paraphrasing, so
it isn't exactly the way he said it, but I think that was the jest of it.

I've never seen one at that speed in the areas of the Bay I frequent,
usually from the Pax River north to the Baltimore area.

We clocked a car carrier at 16 or 17 up that way in the main channel,
still moving right along for a big hulk.

So, what's the approximate bill on that dropped tranny?

Probably find out by mid week. It won't be cheap, but better than
worrying about it on the way home.

Very sharp resulting in a steep wave front very close together -
always come in sets of three. It's like dropping off the edge of a
cliff.
