November 10th was the anniversary of the day The Edmund Fitzgerald went down during a storm on Lake Superior. So we're going to have a nautical theme meme, word association style:
Ocean: "Out on the ocean, sailing away. I can hardly wait to see you come of age." (Which, of course, he didn't because some bastard murdered him before Sean grew to adulthood.) "Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon.
River: "Ain't no river deep enough to keep me from you." You may call her, "Miss Ross." (I love divas!)
Sea: "I'd like to be under the sea in an Octopus' Garden." The Beatles
Sailor: "Sail on, Sailor." The Beach Boys
Ship: "There's a port on a western bay and it serves 100 ships a day." Brandy by Looking Glass
Wave: "Changing my life with the wave of her hand." Here, There and Everywhere by the Beatles*
Sand: "Along the sand, let's walk together now, just hand in hand." California Nights by Leslie Gore
Sail: "Till every fear you've ever felt bursts free and goes tumbling to the sea." Janey, Don't You Lose Heart by Bruce Springsteen
Navy: "In the Navy" by the Village People
Deep: "How Deep Is Your Love?" The Bee Gees*
*OK, so they aren't nautical. But they're the first lyrics that came to my mind.

Nice list. Liked the Beatles and Bee Gees... now I'll have "How deep is your love" stuck in my head all day. :)
