Just seen the weather forcast for Friday, it looks like we are in for a rough crossing.
The Edmund Fitzgerald went down in a November storm with the loss of all hands and that was hell of a lot bigger than a North Sea Ferry.

Hi Bob,
A long way from the North sea though!
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'.
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early!
Fresh water can be vicious too.
Phil
