Gordon Bok told Louis Killen that a trip on a schooner from Bar Harbor, Maine, birthed this song. After one day out, the wind dropped and left the sails flapping for the next eleven days while she drifted in and out of the Bay of Fundy. The accompaniment was inspired by the bell buoys in Provincetown harbor. It was recorded by Gordon Bok on his Bay of Fundy album which is where I learned it. It was printed in his book Time and the Flying Snow. Other songs by Gordon Bok in this collection:       "A Tune for November"       "Turning Toward the Morning"
