gordon lightfoot did a song.
About this wreck?!?! Really?
The wife and I drove up to Whitefish Point 5 years ago when she was “just” the girlfriend at the time. We drove across the Mackinac bridge and stayed in St Ignace for the evening.
That night, there were 105 MPH winds which swept through the lake and there was a steady head of wind when we made our way to Whitefish Point the next morning. As we walked the shores in front of the Fitzgerald memorial, powerful 12’ rollers crashed into the polished rocks lining the beach. Out in the distance, there was a lone freighter making its way through the powerful waves...I will see if I can find a pic of the ship.
Nothing makes a more solemn impact than standing on those shores with powerful weather blowing in your face.
I thought that was Celine Dion.
any of you guys hear tony rice cover the song - a bit more going on in the guitar part.
