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.
