Cool - the ship looks like the Big Fitz too!
I don't think it'd work though...
'She might've broke up,
She might've capsized,
She might've been nailed by a monster...' :-/

;D

LOL! And I thought I was the only one around here who listened to Gordon Lightfoot! :)

My dad got me hooked on him when I was real little on those long car trips to grandma and grandpa's house!

Early moring rain
Cotton Jenny

And really a good song:
Drink yer glasses empty..;) Best played on my 12 string guitar in my opinion..;)

I dont like his new stuff, Lost his voice and sounds like a crotchety old man, Put it on stereo and flew back with hands over my ears....... But his older stuff I love, maybe I'll put the CD back in and try to listen to it.... Cheers, Gunny (look for Lee Murdock I saw him in concert, he did the Big fitz and it was great and he also does the same types of music as lightfoot!)

Lake Superior has its own "sea monster", named "Pressie" because it has alledgedly been sighted most often in the Presque Isle River...and  the natives used to say that there was a sturgeon living in Superior big enough to fit a whole village in its mouth!
