Sailing

Thanks to my buddy Brian for the reminder, today is the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.



Gordon Lightfoot... now if I could record a metal version of this with a chick lead singer...yeah.

I like the truth in the lyrics. Unfortunately I'm too busy these days to take a trip north to see the November Witch. But I can attest that

"Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams,
The islands and bays are for sportsmen"

Lake Michigan

Clear sailing

Lights

My young man's dreams

Michigan Coast in Fog

I think seeing the old ore dock in a November gale would be interesting. Time is just not on my side.

Ashland Ore Dock

I guess time wasn't on the side of Lake Superior iron either.
