There are a whole lot of people out there that simply do not understand that Lake Michigan is the BOSS.
You don't mess with it, yet people do it all the time.
That Lake has the most non-war time wrecks of any water body in the world.
They see "Lake" and don't give it the respect it deserves.  You don't have to get as far out as you'd think in those things for it to get nasty in a hurry.

I consider it (and the rest of them) to be an unsalted inland sea.

Another thing people don't understand about fresh water is that it's much less buoyant than salt water can be. It's also cold. Rarely does the temperature get above 75 on the West side, along shore even.

the maker of my boat has a forum i frequent, and the majority of the owners are great lake boaters.  i rarely leave the sound, but have gone offshore a few times on nice days.. i once took my jetskiis 15 miles offshore.... jetskiis can handle big seas, though.  helluva workout is all... 

i thought i'd seen some rough water... then, a few of the guys were taking pics of and filming rough waters on the big lakes from the vantage of their docks and with reference of points and markers, and i was flabbergasted... it isn't the height of the waves- though they easily rival the seas i've seen... it's the frequency of the waves.. 12~15' swells is one thing when they're 100' apart... they're something else entirely when they're 30' apart... y'all can keep those lakes...

Lake Erie is so relatively shallow that when a storm comes up it is amazing how fast and high the waves come. I remember having a 25' boat out off the bass islands fishing and didn't notice a storm coming in off the Canadian shelf. When we finally noticed we pulled up anchor and hightailed it back to put-in-bay. Let me tell you, it got quite scary. We were broadsided a couple of time by some big waves, not fun. Was quite happy when we got to the dock.

We were up in Glen Arbor once, and they had to close the beach because of how big the waves were there, and that's a little more sheltered there on the bay.  Our waitress at the restaurant that night said she had lived in the area 50+ years and had never seen waves like that.  I was probably 11 or 12, and in retrospect, I'm not sure how my parents let the 4 of us keep playing in that up until it closed.  Trying to keep an eye on four kids between the ages of 3-12 in that mess would give me heart palpitations.

I've been in 20's off the West coast of Kauai for fishing.

I'd much rather have that than 6's on Lake Michigan, and it's not close.

The person who owned the most slaves in my current area, and it was more than twice that of the second place prick, was.... Wait for it... A black dude.

He lived up around new been nc.  Wiki that guy.  If aliens consult our written history, its no wonder we havent met any.

Getting close to a lock here, methinks. ELA or Drew make that call.

That would be a shame, if true.

Those posts weren't political, at least in my view. However, the discussion seems to have gone too far and should probably end.

if you're expecting me to even attempt to justify any person who thinks enough of themselves to own another, no matter what color, nationality, religion, or football team they support you're off track.  the entire prospect is disgusting.

i like to think this particular corner of the site is reasonable people and this may be genuine curiosity rather than conflict, and is why i appreciate you guys as much as i do... 

it's not like any of us have or had a dog in the fight.  

as far as statues or monuments are concerned, it has to be said that people lost their loved ones on all sides of every armed conflict, and how they remember them- so long as it doesn't perpetuate the resentment- is kinda up to them.  i'm guessing the prior sentence to be true. I hope that is what it is.  

we're beyond that, i hope, and here is a chance to prove it... 

for those reading what i've contributed in quiet protest: please realize i respect and regard each of you no matter if our opinion differs- we're a close group of fans, insofar as interwebz can create such a thing.  i got y'alls back no matter what (insofar as this place is concerned)... 

I think we should continue, but likely alter the subject?
