Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks 32,606 Posted November 30, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 30, 2022 It's blowing out on Lake Superior right now. Some expect up to 28-foot waves! Earlier today the Arthur M. Anderson was at hook in Whitefish Bay just east of Paradise, MI but we got word from a Wheelsman (and friend) ''STORM WARRIOR'' Great Lakes Sailor/ Keith Baker of the Anderson it was blowing so bad in Whitefish Bay they had to head south and take hook (anchor) near Brimley, MI. Thanks for this picture, Keith. Stay safe out there...you're all in our thoughts tonight. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
