Day three and still no one else found

[jknaus]

With all the pandemic news the loss of one of our Cyclone helicopters probably slipped past. Unfortunately while on a NATO Op we lost a Cyclone helicopter in the Ionian sea. One body was found but the other 5 have not been. Its a especially hard blow to Nova Scotia after the Mad Doc who went on a killing spree last week and hard for the RCAF community as all crashes are.

Yes, we did not have a good month. The Shearwater base is just down the road from me. Quite a few families are going to be affected by this latest accident..

In Waters Deep - Eileen Mahoney

In ocean wastes no poppies blow,
No crosses stand in ordered row,
Their young hearts sleep... beneath the wave...
The spirited, the good, the brave,
But stars a constant vigil keep,
For them who lie beneath the deep.
'Tis true you cannot kneel in prayer
On certain spot and think. "He's there."
But you can to the ocean go...
See whitecaps marching row on row;
Know one for him will always ride...
In and out... with every tide.
And when your span of life is passed,
He'll meet you at the "Captain's Mast."
And they who mourn on distant shore
For sailors who'll come home no more,
Can dry their tears and pray for these
Who rest beneath the heaving seas...
For stars that shine and winds that blow
And whitecaps marching row on row.
And they can never lonely be
For when they lived... they chose the sea.
