Yeah, I think people don't realize how rough it can get out here. You can see the deck flex sometimes. The water lines that run up the deck (1000 feet) are set with multiple compression fittings so they don't snap the pipes. All the pipe clamps are loose so the lines shift. It's not unusual to have 12-14 foot seas in oct,nov.Dang that dont sound like a fun type of day. And realy tough for the bow man.
I grew up close to Manitowoc for the first 18 years of my life. It can get nasty out there... I never wanted to actually be out on the water during those storms. Good on you for taking on the challenge.Yeah, I think people don't realize how rough it can get out here. You can see the deck flex sometimes.

I would think the Edmund Fitzgerald should prove without a doubt it can get rough up there.Yeah, I think people don't realize how rough it can get out here. You can see the deck flex sometimes.

I’ll answer for him, per Coast Guard regulations, inland vessels do not require a “Mast” if above the Huey P Long bridge. But a vessel his size most certainly has some sort of flag pole. Due to bridges. All offshore vessels bigger than 7 meters require a mast with a mast light.On your boat do you have a flag mast or staff ?? --- SAWMAN
3 actually. Stern, bridge and bow. Bow is mostly for day shapes.On your boat do you have a flag mast or staff ?? --- SAWMAN
