I heard my Dad tell the man who took us out on his boat we had better head in as he didn't like the look of the clouds that were forming. The owner of the boat said a little rain never hurt anybody. That began a 4 hour battle to get back to our campgrounds on Sandusky bay from Lake Erie. The bay was even raging with the boat hitting the bottom after every wave. Lost boat propeller and had to paddle the rest of the way in, I was a child in the early 1970s but I will always remember sitting with a life jacket on and our moms telling us to pray. My dad was an experienced boater and coast guard and he told me the driver of the boat that day didn't respect the lake, that he didn't get storms can pop up in a matter of minutes on Lake Erie. Growing up on the lake as I did I respected it ever since. The waves on that Lake were incredible. Glad that cabin cruiser we were on held up and I never forgot my Dad's calm demeanor and guidance that day. He was the reason we made it back in one piece.

I grew up 4 miles away from Lake Erie, and spent a lot of time out on that lake in small boats as a child. I have friends who live near oceans, and they often dismiss the great lakes as insignificant and benign bodies of water. Those lakes will kill you in a hurry if you naively doubt their ferocity, and underestimate their potential.

I've never been up there, but I can assure you I respects those waters just as much as off shore. The storms up there in the summer can be extremely violent, more so than the vast majority of squalls down here in the gulf other than the tropical systems, and the squalls are nothing to play around with either.

Off of Barcelona Harbor, about two miles, from mostly calm to ten foot waves in a half hour. Comes up quick, and it is easy to dismiss the early warning signs because you know that it usually isn't that bad. But when it does get bad, your swamped and bobbing at the surface. The motor doesn't want to push a boat full of water. It does get scary.

If you are ever wondering how people get caught up in a storm and die on the Great Lakes or an ocean, just watch this video. When the water was calmer, at the beginning, they still had time to move out of the way of the worst of that storm (if their engine was working properly). This was a foolhardy and unnecessary risk to take and it's obvious that was no rogue storm--it was part of a previously forecast system. The captain and crew were either untrained or just stupid. Life jackets that will become waterlogged death weights in less than an hour and average summer water temperatures in the low 70's F (22 C)... it would be a shame, but all of those guys would not make it long enough to be rescued.

And the fact that the skipper had to tell the others where the life jackets were, and that there weren't enough until getting more out of a case in the forward compartment, is also worrying. There should have been a safety briefing at the dock before setting off, and enough PFDs for each soul on board should have been readily available, if not actually worn.

If that boat had sunk, and all they had were those lifejackets, they probably would have drowned anyway, given the location & the condition of the seas.

Lake Erie is particularly dangerous, not just because of the intense thunderstorms that brew up out of nowhere but because it is so shallow. Shallow bodies of water create square waves when the seas come up as the bottoms, tops of the waves are chopped off by the lake bottom. Square waves are steep. You literally fall off of them. Take a look at shipwreck maps of Erie. It is sobering how many have been lost. p.s. Power boats are like shoe boxes and they are terrible hull forms in any kind of weather.

Those are 3 to 4 foot waves at the most due to a small thunderstorm. However, inland boats are not use to one of the roughest great lakes. When you see the cigar black shaped cloud across the total horizon, then you can expect a Lake Erie squall line with thunderstorms and waves 6 to 8 feet and wind gusting to 50 plus knots.

People who aren't from around here often don't realize how deadly Lake Erie storms can be, and how they seem to appear out of nowhere. Like the Cessna that just went missing on 12-30-16, and even the mystery of lake effect snow- how forecasters still can't predict it accurately. Some see it as just a little lake, but there are still hundreds of capsized boats and ships who have never been recovered. He was smart to tell them to get their life jackets on.

They think to themselves, "Well, I see the storm coming... But, the waves are still flat so I guess I'll just hang out a little bit longer." Then, before they know it, BOOM, the waves are crashing in high before they even know it...

You won't catch me on the Great Lakes without twin screws. About 10 yrs ago we had 3 boats convoying to Cedar Point from St Clair, evening came along with an expected storm but it was worse than anticipated. I was on a 34' Sundancer & we must've hit a deadhead or something cuz it popped one of the outdrives into the emergency position, so we had to coast in on one 1 motor. Not sure what would've happened if we only had the 1, the storm was pretty bad. When I was a kid and went to St. Clair every weekend to our boat, I remember my dad telling my mother that he'd never buy a boat without twins...He's a smart man. Not sure if he got that idea from the Navy or wherever, but I always remembered it and followed his rule.

If you're on Waverly Beach, where Lake Erie turns to become the Niagara River, you are looking up the Canadian and American sides of the lake. A cloud formation can be coming down along the Canadian shore, with another cloud formation coming down the American side. I saw Canadian clouds bump into American clouds, making a ninety-degree angle as they were turned away.

When the wind picks up and starts to 'huff' up to 45 to 60 mph. outta the NNW I'll get wave spray on my front windows. The last windstorm we had, ripped the siding right off the building...

I made the mistake of going out of Vermilion Ohio harbor onto Lake Erie with large wave conditions in a 27 foot Skiff Craft. Upon leaving the breakwall the only option was to point the boat to Sandusky harbor. Trying to turn the boat in the 10 to 12 foot swells was impossible. I didn't see any other boats on the water and there was a Coast Guard helicopter overhead as we approached Sandusky harbor. I saw a sailboat in East Harbor as we entered the channel and later learned that two people drowned that were aboard that vessel. My passenger on the boat with me was terrified- first time on Lake Erie. I feel rather fortunate to have survived the ordeal

Been there, done that. Grew up in LaSalle, MI on the beach. Sailed in a 21' sloop from North Cape Yacht Club to Put-in-Bay. First half delightful, second half nightmare. Tried to shelter on the lee side of West Sister I to no avail. Flew to PiB on storm jib. Probably just as fast on a bare pole. 10+ foot swells and canyons were very eerie (no pun intended). 4 teen boys with only a brass compass in 1962 is still a vivid memory. With only a little lawn mowing money in our pockets, the Coast Guard let us sleep in their empty bunks. The trip back was uneventful except for a 4 hour dead calm and black flies biting. Our parents were thrilled to see us. I think I am the only boy still alive.

They could have pulled the planers in a little sooner, but this wasn’t a big deal. When you see a curved wall cloud like that, you can be sure that there will be a gust front associated with the storm, so they could have known that pulling in the planers with a strong wind might be a little tricky. Everything else was pretty much a non-event.

Great lakes have hundreds of sunken wrecks - some of them were ocean-going vessels; waves break ships in half.

I never had a problem wearing a life preserver from that day on. 4 men went in 1 came out. We were 75 yards away and another boat was there in less then 1 min.

This looks like every trip I’ve taken on my friends boat! “ Hey, I heard there’s a nor’easter hitting heavy today! “ “ Nah, that’s going to miss us..the fish are everywhere today we can’t miss! “ “ Ok, great! “ ………..🙄😂

Wow did it get nautical quick! That was a sinister looking storm. So much equipment in the water. What type of fish were they targeting?

The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup at a delicatessen.

I feel for the captain. I've been in these situations before. A lot of "input" from the passengers on what he needs to do. He needs to concentrate and most likely knows what everyone else is saying. It's nerve wracking enough without all the comments and joking and OMGs from the backseats.
