If the lake was long, narrow, and deep l would be out their in 45k winds but if its like lake O today no way. Every time out in a small craft you are assessing the conditions at least 3 times an hour. for example l was about 1km of shore in Lake O in a canoe. But as the conditions changed we started to get closser to shore and eventualy pulled the canoe out of the water because it was to dangerous that and a fish took 150yrs of my line (not to self bring more line)
