Laurie,"The Red Sky"theory is so true! A few years ago I went across Lake Ontario-from Rochester to The 1000 Islands in the Fall in a 38 footer.We had 5'rollers from Oswego,NY to Alexandria Bay,NY.We were trying to beat the "Red Sky" in the Morning.My friend asked me,"Why do you have wind shield wipers"?We buried the bow 4 times and our GPS [hand held] blew out of our hands into Lake Ontario.
