We always docked the tug on this day.

I used to have this CD on my boat, and anytime something broke I'd load up this song.

Also used to play the CD when going to bed in the cabin with my girlfriend (now wife) and just let it play all night...
Yes, that was in a 25 Baja...




Just put the song up as a reminder of this day and the loss on the Great Lakes. They aren't a water to take lightly.

The Captain was from the area that Bouy and I grew up in. Many crew members were from around here.

This one has pics of the wreck and pics and the names and home towns of the crew.

I have always been a bit to superstitious to play that tune on the water...
