A moment to remember

[Oldhiker]

How can that only be 35 years ago... I remember this?

[Pleater]

The song is sung on the English folk scene - I had not heard it sung by Gordon Lightfoot, thanks for the link Beertigger.

I was once sailing a small yacht - 20 ft sloop - in the Solent - heading East with a storm force wind dead astern and the tide running West - the waves were so high that they took the wind from the sails. As we went down into the trough, everything vibrated, the dagger boards, the rudder, even the mast when the pressure of the sails left it.

Pure terror, triple distilled. It makes my hair stand on end and my shoulder muscles knot up just to think about it even now.

When I hear that song I remember that day.
