Being on Georgian Bay also puts me on Lake Huron too but the area I'm in, I am surrounded by large islands which block the worst of the storm effects on the water, sort of like being on a lake that's a mile long and half a mile across, so I rarely see waves much higher than about 3 feet in stormy weather, but travelling just a little ways further out, and on a relatively mild day, I've run into waves 6 feet high, and I'm not a Big Boat guy. Mostly I've had smaller, open, sail boats and canoes. What can be interesting though is, being attached to a much larger body of water (G.B/Huron is about 23,000 sq miles), I have seen the water depth change by as much as 18 inches in less than an hour when a brisk breeze shifted. --- * SLMR Rob * Now, if you'll all just exit in an orderly manner * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) SEEN-BY: 15/0 105/81 106/201 129/305 153/7715 229/426 428 664 700 SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/854 301/1 320/219 322/757 396/45 712/848 2320/0 SEEN-BY: 2320/105 PATH: 2320/105 229/426 |
