Lake Superior from Canal Park on the windy afternoon of October 2nd, 2009. Not suprisingly, this camera was toast after this video...

I can't believe a lake can produce that big of waves.

[jjhendo]

@cichyALBUSprod Well, the Greatest of the Great Lakes can!! ;-D

[Sadielynnification]

I miss home :-(

[jjhendo]

@Sadielynnification Yeah, so do I. I had to move to North Dakota to find work. Where are you?

I grew up in Duluth. I remember storms when my friends an I would walked along the rocks above the beach on Park Point. That was years ago before I-35 was build through Duluth. I also remember a couple of teen boys who were swept off the pier you were sitting by. They were messing around out by the light house. As I recall, they never did find their bodies. They say Superior never gives up her dead when the winds of November comes early. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

@jjhendo Yes I agree it is the most dangerous, sailed it since I was a kid. After years in Seattle I am back and looking forward to sailing Superior again!

@lancetop or look at other videos on youtube of 1000 foot ships or Lakers as we call them here or even the Salties (smaller ocean going vessels that come and go from the Atlantic Ocean) getting hammered out in the middle of the Lake. Inland Sea is a far more appropriate term, just needs salt! :)

@cichyALBUSprod I have sailed the Pacifc Northwest for 20 years and grew up sailing Superior. I have never been in more dire situations than I have been on that so called "lake". Think inland sea, it is a lake as big as Kentucky, short wave lengths, 40 footers have been reported. Three sisters will getcha. Getting ready for another season out of Bayfield!

[cichyALBUSprod]

@jjhendo Well, I guess they can!

I have been vacationing to Little Girl's Point since I was a child, I am 51 now, and we finally purchased a family cottage 5 miles into the UP pf Michigan , I have been on that lake with a friend in an aluminum canoe and saw schools of HUGE lake trout east in the bay of the lake from below the bluffs of the campground down where the sandy beach ends and turns into boulders where we could look 30-40 feet down in crystal clear water.

As for my friend who I had to keep reminding him that I was going to stay near shore no matter his feeble attempts to be stupid and paddle out further into the lake during which there were long fingers of fog rolling in , Ah Yes The calm before the storm ,

[Oreoboots]

The lake was as smooth as glass barely even a ripple of a wave on shore and as I kept us within 50 feet of shore we neared Oman's Creek where there is a place to put boats in and such , now there is also a DNR boat landing too, I looked at my friend and as we pulled the canoe out of the water I felt a rain drop when we hit shore ,
