The lake it is said never gives up her dead when the skies of November turn gloomy.

Bob Dylan never wrote a song for Gordon but he said that when Gordon's songs came on he wished that they would never end.

Pretty powerful words coming from Bob Dylan.

Sundown you better take care when the skies of November turn gloomy...

I listened to the song a few times today. And also for a refresher on memes.

Forecast here the next few days is gonna be a blustery nw. Id imagine it is much the same a few hundred miles north and the gales of November will be in full force on the big pond.

For sure….words can’t explain Lake Superior during a storm. Very impressive to see!

Pulled up WOTEF lastnight on Amazon Music while I cooked dinner. I put it on loop thinking it would just repeat the original and I was going to wait and see how long it would take for my wife to catch on. It was a massive playlist different versions from Gordon, but a whole library of covers that had incredible range. She never said a word, nor did I, and we just listened to all the versions for over three hours. It was epic.

Fascinating history. Think I read that EF was so long and heavy that, in huge waves and troughs, the bow hit lake bottom and broke off.

Did a Soo locks tour years ago when we were kids and saw the Fitz passing through. At the time, the tour guide said it was the biggest ship in the great lakes fleet.
That was probably 2-3 years before she went down.

Some theories were she ran aground in six fathom shoals and was taking on water from that moment until the end.

Designed to fit through the locks while maximizing space for freight. Would have been pretty cool to see!
