In Michigan we call that A calm day on Lake Michigan
or better known as Cigarette water
Get in the boat and run
Were they all surprised by this storm?
If it were my boat in that mess i would be firing up and taking my chances in the middle of the lake not tied to a bunch of other stranded boats
Weather must have blown in within minutes
Hope everyone was ok and that no one was hurt
fiberglass can be fixed

Havasu gets wild when those monsoons and storms roll in. Been in that situation several times out there. Nothing quite like being chest-high in raging water and wind -- holding boats off -- in the middle of the night.

Have to agree with this one. Far better off under power in deep water away from other boats. The waves really aren't very big compared to the great lakes.
Still can't figure out why everyone beaches their boats that way out here. It would be much easier to get on/off bow out with anchors off the bow and stern. Probably would have prevented a lot of damage in this senario, too.
