you wouldn't have gotten too far with those waves? Where were you going to ramp it at, near the dunes?
I've only been there twice once when I was a little tod and the last was in 2003 during the big black out in SE Michigan.

I've been vacationing in that area all my life. We stay and boat on Glen Lake. The only time I've gone boating on Lake Michigan was when I was 16. Used that very ramp to launch my dad's 16" Slickcraft. Two friends and I headed out to the Manitou Islands. First stop was the shipwreck on the SW side of South Manitou. We then circled the island and went to the town. This was before the park service took the place over and folks lived out there. We had some lunch, got gas and went up in the lighthouse. We then headed over to the north island and explored some there. All in all we were out from about 7:30AM to around 4:00PM. It was probably in late July. As you see in the video the lake can be very rough. Funny thing is, the biggest wave we hit all day on that big lake was our own boat wake. Lake Michigan was like glass all day! Unbelievable!
I've posted this before, but I thought some of you might not have seen it.

something tells me that if brock was wherever that tsunami hit a couple years ago, while everyone else was running for the high ground, brock would have been running to the beach with his ski.
glad to hear your still alive, I don't have a place to park the jeep anyway. how are things going with the transplant prep?

Yeah that tsunami was amazing and i had a blast riding the 200 foot waves it produced but it sucked cuz everytime i would try to make it to the top to launch off the wave it was already curling over and i would miss out.... I think my raves were stuck cuz i didnt have the top end to get the job done... oh well .... all was good and i do feel bad for those poor little wiglets that were running for shelter on the beach whilst i was jumping the very waves that was ruining their lives... while i was out the i seen so many things floating by and it was hard to manuver around them especially when i seen peter in the belly of the wale come strolling by ....after that i headed in to shore ..(figured it was a sign)
as for the transplant prep its all going good just very difficult not to mess up.... before all this i was a hardcore supplement user for my powerlifting meets and now i have to let it all go because apparenlty the supplements arent good for my kidneys .....but all is well here and dads doin grerat other than the constant throwing up, feeling tired , yellow skin,fever, blood shot eyes,lack of energy , and constipation he has every day of his life for the last 8 years because our great society of idiot doctors say thats NORMAL ( no offence DR. HONDA) is he really a doctor?????? anyways thanks for the encouragement and ill keep ya guys up tp date....
