We were out in 8-10 footers for a short period of time several years ago on Lake Ontario out from Oswego, NY. Let's just say that the short wave sets were very humbling and that the bell was ringing non-stop that day ... pretty scary stuff when land is not visible when you are down in the trough. All of a sudden, my 390 seemed so very miniscule out there. We were glad to get into port and tied up in a sheltered slip. Then out came the Appleton's 12 year old rum. We had to stay there for 3 days until things calmed down before we could safely cruise back to our home port of Rockport, Ontario in the thousand islands. On a side note, we were slipped beside Alan Jackson's 'Neon Rainbow' while it was receiving attention from the Cat techs for a blown engine.
