The Great Lakes have waves that have an extremely short wavelength when compared to either of the two oceans. On a semi-rare but sad occasion we see a nee'r-do-well going out from shore on a pontoon best meant for inland Michigan lakes and sinking from surprise 4ft swells that batter them in rapid succession.

Pontoons shouldn't go out on big inland freshwater seas when the forecast suggests ~30mph wind gusts.

Yeah, they kill a ton of people every year because people wildly underestimate how dangerous the great lakes, especially Superior and Michigan, can be. A bunch of the time they are calm enough to rowboat, paddleboard, etc on, but if a storm is coming in or just high winds, 6ft waves can start up and people get into trouble very fast.

I used to work for a guy who went in to his sunfish sailing club one morning on the north shore and didn’t come back that afternoon

turns out he’d gotten a bug up his rear end and was like "I’ve got lunch, a gallon of water and great weather I’m headin to Michigan"

it was roughly seventy miles to Benton harbor and the coast guard (alerted when the club reported him gone) picked him up about fifteen miles off the Michigan beach, happy as a clam and making seven knots

I heard nuclear winter would result in significant issues due to crop failures, regional droughts, horrible air quality due to soot in the atmosphere, region-sized firestorms, water supply issues, and pollinator death. That sounds horrible.

Sandy Beach in Hawaii is also known as break neck beach because the break is so incredibly close to the shore. If you gently caress up and get crushed you are being slammed into the ground in about 2ft deep water. Water bad.

also because it's the next beach down the road from Hanauma bay, which is a huge tourist spot but also fills up pretty quickly so a lot of people get turned away and then just go to the next beach, which is not a safe one

but winter is cold, so if we are worried about it being too warm we should maybe consider the winter. don't be afraid of atoms
