We went and anchored in Paugus for most of the day. It was great because there weren't many people. It was entertaining watching people trying to pull in and anchor.

Also a sea plane over there had landed and taken off 3 times while we were there. He took off one time directly into the wind. That was interesting. I can't believe he actually got it airborne. I told my wife he is going to have to shut down before he runs out of lake but he got out of the water. He appear to be a very good experienced pilot.

The ride home was awesome. My boat loves that chop (24 degree deadrise hull). Typically we rarely go over 30 but yesterday I was lovin it and had to run the speed limit when possible.

The biggest issue was seeing other boats and markers. I sure can see how it would be easy to have problems in that weather for a novice boater. We saw a 15 foot aluminum boat heading out of Weirs toward the broads and just looked at each other thinking why would you be that stupid. Also saw a 13 foot Whaler out there but was in a bay were the waves weren't bad.
