That's an awesome video I hadn't seen it so thanks! I recall the whole event and the ensuing release of the song. Having been at Pancake Bay a few years ago I was amazed how Gord's lyrics so completely captured the whole story and fairly accurately. Although recently I heard there were some new findings and they may have to tailor the song. Can't remember exactly what they were.
I've canoed Gitchee Gumee (believe me close to shore) and experienced one minute calm waters and the next the churning that made me get off the water. One night sleeping along nearby its shores we barely slept for the violence of the waves pounding hard on the shore. It was such a violent thunderous sound. And that was in August. Can't imagine seeing that water in the gales of November.

So a Gord fan, eh? ;)
