My first career was as a dive instructor and I've been out in 12 foot seas
myself, although in a bigger (35') boat.

12 foot seas in deep water is a lot different than in 18' deep water. The
steepness of the wave, because of how close the waves are to each other makes a
huge difference.

12 waves on the ocean is just starting to be good sailing. On Western Lake
Erie, 12 foot makes for ...

12' on Lake Eirie,or Huron for that matter? The first trought would
stick you in the mud and the first wave would bury you in it.
