Gale Force Advisory with a 46 cig

[FULL FORCE]

Hell of a run on saturday. Thanks for your help Tim. Pic is leaving port clinton.


Moral of the story... Respect mother nature, and be glad I had engines that didn't stall.

Anytime Jeremy...

After helping Jeremy, I took the Baja ove to Kelleys, woo what a ride! pics don't do it justice since on the way there I was rolling with them, but the old 32 Baja handled it well.... love my resin bucket! Only boat there ...lifejackets and Lanyard attached....

I try not too! 6's are the norm where I live (hour north of Long Beach). Large craft (gail warning) goes up here quite frequently.

There were taken last year. 10-14' swell that day per NOAA!! I sh!t you not. They were spaced out and there was no wind so you didn't get the washing machine effect. Couldn't see anything but water all around you when you were down in between them. Scared the crap out of my passengers!:sifone:

It settled down quite a bit Saturday afternoon/evening, at least over in Toledo. Bow looks a little wet, take a couple waves over the rails? :sifone:

Yes, more then a couple! It was worse then the pics show, it licked up a tad before coming back, this was about 1:00pm...

yep, one of the funnest races we had all year. Point Pleasant last year the day after a hurricane ran up the coast. Wind was blowing hard on the beach at like 45 mph all saturday and did a 180 in the middle of the night. Was still eight to tens but no caps and like 100-150 feet apart. We could literally run at speed up the face and kite down the back side on the props. What a blast! . . . . then . . . about every ten waves or so would be a giant hole . . . yea that was friggin fun! :sifone:


lake Erie eight to tens? . . . . forget about it!

that seems like a lot of fun. i want to do this eventually

 

[Sean Stinson]

nope..out of San Diego.

You and I probably have bull****ted at the launch ramp at Shelter Island or Mission Bay a couple of times!!!
