A WONDERFUL VIRUS TIME
False. Lakes do not count as 'large bodies of water'. I want to fear sharks and other deep sea creatures in the water I swim in, not just large tourists who are in severe need of a tan.
Lake Michigan has riptides and sometimes even dead bodies.
when you cant see to the other side I think they count!
I'm ambivalent. OT1H, the rest of the forum is correct that the great lakes are physically large bodies of water where you can't see land on the other side and present a variety of nautical hazards - and they have a recreational culture associated with them. OTOH, I still fundamentally agree with @JayKay PE that they don't count. But for me, they don't count because I make a distinction between fresh, brackish, and salt water bodies. I find the latter more desirable and sympathize with her desire to be closer to them.When the wind can kick up 20' waves I think they count!
The great lakes get rogue waves and have a lot of unexplained losses at sea, so yes, they're dangerous.If the waves don't have sharks/don't have the potential to turn into a sharknado, are they really that dangerous?
Please sympathize with me. Tbh, the only reason I'm not going crazy is because the highway nearby kinda sounds like the white noise the waves create (not at all similar, but it's almost the same frequency?). I desire to be close to real water sources that allow recreation and sitting on beaches!I find the latter more desirable and sympathize with her desire to be closer to them.
