   That's a ways up North as well.. Being on Georgian Bay also puts me on Lake   
   Huron too but the area I'm in, I am surrounded by large islands which block   
   the worst of the storm effects on the water, sort of like being on a lake   
   that's a mile long and half a mile across, so I rarely see waves much higher   
   than about 3 feet in stormy weather, but travelling just a little ways further   
   out, and on a relatively mild day, I've run into waves 6 feet high, and I'm   
   not a Big Boat guy. Mostly I've had smaller, open, sail boats and canoes.   
      
   What can be interesting though is, being attached to a much larger body of   
   water (G.B/Huron is about 23,000 sq miles), I have seen the water depth change   
   by as much as 18 inches in less than an hour when a brisk breeze shifted.
