Its to beautiful here to fight the lake

Decided I would at least check the lake out. See what the wave of action was. As soon as I got in the open water, it was four or 5 foot waves right on the nose with the wind. It was so beautiful in the bay. I just turned around and went back in and dropped anger.

Rob Welsh - Rocking quite a bit here on the river in Bayfield, I wondered if you would go out in those heavy winds.
