Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?

I came across the Mackinac Bridge around 1400 on 11/10/74. A few hours later the bridge was closed because the wind was making it swing too much for safe passage. When I got to Deetroit about 2000 the storm had followed me. It raged all night long and the next morning there were reports that a large ore carrier had gone missing on Lake Superior.

May God have mercy on the souls of all mariners who have been lost in such storms.

Oops. 11/10/1975! Not enough caffeine yet.

My family was just returning from Sault St. Marie after riding the Snow Train in SSM, Ontario. The weather was just starting to turn. Made it home after some delay and my Grandmother told us about some ship that went missing in Superior.

All the local news could talk about for some time.
