Regardless of the forecast I would never attempt to cross Lake Erie to
Canada in my 20 footer, even though the Lake is only about 50 miles wide.

I did it lots of times in my 22 footer.


Reading compression problem?


No I don't have a reading compression problem.

My 5.7 is a bit low on one cylinder.


Loose spark plug?

LOL!!

How fast can conditions change 50 miles out from shore on the Atlantic?


That's not the right question.

The issue is how much can conditions change while you are returning
from xx miles offshore. If you typically get 30 minutes warning
before a severe thunderstorm, and it's going to take 2 hours to get
back into port, those are not very good odds.


Well, as my middle name is not Heyerdahl, I'll probably stay within sight
of land in my little 18 footer.

Well.. for the Christmas Season I'd appreciate it if you'd pucker up to
Waylon's butt in private.
Decent , law abiding folk do read this newsgroup.

You're quick with the gay responses, Donnie. Not that there's anything
wrong with that.


Yes, I won't hold your alternate lifestyle against you....as long as you
stay well away from me.



I don't have any boys in my house.
