Default Re: 25 footers

Island Trader,
I keep my boat at Olcott New York,on Lake Ontario's western end.It's about 18 miles from the mouth of the Niagara river,and about 35-40 miles from the Toronto Canada harbor straight across the lake.
I used to keep it on the Eastern end of the lake,but it seemed that everytime we'd make a trip,we'd get blown off.So we move to the west end where the lake is narrower and "supposedly" there are prevailing westerlies,so it should be nicer,right?
Of course not,when we get there the winds come out of the east,and we get to look at the lake,and watch eight footers crash over the pierheads.
*********I HATE WIND***************
