The song is haunting, especially the lyrics;

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes,
When the waves turn the minutes to hours..."

I believe the Fitzgerald was longer than the depth of the lake. Great song.

When in doubt. Look to the Gord.

I've met him a couple of times. Super nice and humble guy.

I spent many many days fishing on the Great Lakes as I lived in Michigan for over 50 years. I remember that day well.
And that song...

I was up in Duluth in January about 4-5 years ago. I pulled up to one of the crossings where those tankers pass. If you have never witnessed the size of those passing in a 40-50 foot channel of water you missed a real site. It is pretty awesome.

You poor guy. I was there about a decade ago in January and I thought I was in the coldest place on earth. And I have visited the oil pipelines in Alaska during construction in the 1980s.
The winds were about 40 mph coming of the lake and we had to drive inland to Chisholm. I started wanting to go home the moment I stepped out of the hotel. Chisholm was actually not so bad, without the lake winds.
