I’m sure you’re right. They called the storm that took the Andrea Gale “The Perfect Storm” but I’m not sure the Fitzgerald wasn’t in a prelude to that one. Just farther west. When you can’t see the shore it’s a crap shoot with Mother Nature. Sometimes even if you can see a shore.
No radar.
And it looks like were in for that kind of weather again. As I write this I’m sitting in a town on lake Huron and we are expected to get 6 inches of snow overnight.

Very true...one day I was out in my 19 foot bowrider, boating on Long Island Sound, when I went into a thick fog bank. I couldn’t see anything, but after 15 minutes the fog lifted and a Sub was about 1/4 miles from me...I was glad I didn’t hit it...
