: Wow, Malcolm...

: Great review and awesome trip report. That's way beyond me. Here in Lake
: Erie, we get lot's of chop (3-6 ft. wave period) and I'm challenged by 2+'
: whitecaps. Maybe someday.

: Jim

Hello Jim,

Well from what I hear you guys have more than your share of shipwrecks! Don't discount your skills, I hear the waves are smaller but there's more of them and they are more powerful. Not to mention much colder. I didn't have the immediate threat of hypothermia to deal with if I got dumped out there.

The water here is beautiful, but as soon as you leave that pretty blue beach it can get pretty nasty. ...but I like it that way! :D
