In Response To: Re: Lake Superior this time... (Brianne Corbett)

: If you have ever paddled on Lake Superior, you know that the "danger
: season" never starts because it never ends. Lake Superior is ALWAYS
: dangerous. Frigid water and pea-soup thick fog are big risks all the time.
: She can go from dead calm to 4 foot waves in literally minutes. She can
: generate sustained waves of 30 feet and rogue waves to 60 feet. She even
: has tidal movements in certain places. This is not a lake to be trifled
: with.

: She is beautiful, beckoning, and treacherous.
