When the gales of November come early. Wow Lake Superior

Anyone crazy enough to enjoy the winds on Lake Superior?

Looks like good place to test your skills.

WindyTY reports winds of 40 knots and higher and seas above 15 ft today. Tonight they may become high enough to justify a song.

I've always found the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald fascinating. It was basically a huge barge carrying 26,000 tons of ore with no watertight compartments. We learned a lesson from it. And if you want to talk fetch, catch a flight to Thunder Bay and look down on Lake Superior from 30,000 feet. Even at 600 mph, you won't see a shoreline anywhere for a LONG time; but "The searchers all say they'd have made White Fish Bay if they'd put fifteen more miles behind her."
