Kipawa Earthquake

[Dog]

Probably wouldn't even notice,would think it was the wake from a boat or just the chop in the lake !

When I was forward deployed in Japan we drove around quite a few typhoons in the south pacific ocean (scary as heck!) so if a tsunami is anything like that, you'd notice, trust me
The worst part about a tsunami is there really is no warning as it could be a perfectly gorgeous day out and then bam, earthquake (which you likely  wouldn't feel on a boat) and the first thing you'd likely see is a wall of water, Rogue wave out of no where!!!

In the typhoon at least, it feels like the water is going to swallow the boat, and that's saying something considering at the time I was on a aegis class, guided missile cruiser.

Think along the lines of the movie "Perfect Storm"...

 I'll take your word for it bro(Dog). After spending many years on Georgian Bay I know whats involved on a small boat on big water. Lets just say I wet myself a couple of times making my way back in high winds and waves during a sudden storm. More then a few times I drove to the lake only to go home due to winds and waves. my boat seems to be able to handle 6-7 foot waves, but they are a challenge in a 17 foot boat. Kipawa is a real treat no matter how windy it is. I think you know whats it's like when your in a trough with a wall of water on all sides of you.

yup... I do.. I can imagine Kipawa conditions are the worst when there are winds from the northwest in the northwest arm as that's a pretty long fetch

Dog, when you go to TBL the waves can be really nasty with a north west wind trying to cross Queens's Bay. There have been several times that we wouldn't even try, but there are always safe places to drop a line.
