Sailors

Having seen high seas in the north Atlantic and having passed through the edge of a hurricane in a "gator navy" (round bottom) boat I know the fear you find when the Gales of November might show early. I still tear up every time I hear Gordon Lightfoot sing about the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Today is the anniversary of the sinking and questions remain unanswered and can only be answered with conjecture. For that uncertainty I pray for the strength and comfort of the families.

And I still hear the call of the sea.
