Musky or Specks Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 When I was a kid in University we use to have a few pints and sit down in the park across from the Maritime Sailors Cathedral and sing rousing renditions of this song.

Pigeontroller Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 A great song from a great Canadian singer/songwriter! To everyone else that takes their wee little boat out on the Great Lakes... Always have the proper amount of respect!

David aka Superdad I don't remember the exact date, but it was November. We stayed in Rexdale at my sister's boyfriend's parent's house for a week. We lived only a few blocks away from the derailment on the Credit Woodlands.
