Next message: Bob Taylor: "RE: lv-ab: weather"
For those who sail on the ocean and deride Great Lakes sailors, the
current marine weather forecast for Georgian Bay is 35 - 45 knot
winds, seas 3 - 4 metres - for those who aren't metric, that's 9 - 13
feet.
Now, that's no big deal on the ocean, but remember this...the wave
period is about 4 seconds from trough to trough...that means that
every four seconds, your bow is smacking into another several tons of
water whereas in the ocean, you would simply ride up the swell.
