The Witch of November. Thanks for the reminder, it helps put our petty personal problems into perspective. |

A few years ago, there was a documentary about finding the wreck and figuring out exactly what happened to the ship. It was long enough ago that I don't remember the details. I still remember the words to the song, but then I have heard the song many more times than I've seen the documentary. |

Definitely a song your remember. |

IIRC a rogue wave? Sister ship was nearby but unaffected. |

I love Gordon Lightfoot, and that song is simply the best remembered. Good stuff. |

Greatest ever line in a song (I think)
'Does anyone know where the love of God goes? when the waves turn the minutes to hours'
Sends shivers down my spine. So few words and yet says so very much. |

I always liked the song. And some don't realize just how big the Great Lakes are. |

And today's the 45th anniversary. Salute to the eternal memory of the Fitz and her 29 men. |
