As I saw here there a Gordon Lightfoot song popped into my head called High And Dry from the 1970's album called Sundown. It was an album I use to listen to when I was in High School which was a couple of years before I took up sailing. As the song played in my head I thought yeah this lament for a boat or a girl deserves a spot on my MP3 player:
With a lady-like devotion
She sails the bitter ocean
If it wasn't for lovesick sailors
There'd be nothin' left but flotsam
Singin' why me oh my
Is there a better man than I
I hope you find your way back home
Before you're lyin' high and dry
I hope you find your way back home
Before you die
Though I'm having trouble deciding between two versions of the song there is the original High And Dry from the Sundown album. Then there is the High And Dry [1988 Version] from Gord's Gold Volume II. I just might have download both versions.

Thanks for that. I loved reliving
it. Hadn't heard it for decades.

Same for me it just popped into my head when I saw my boat high and dry for winter storage. Funny how memories sometimes get triggered.
