"What Do You Do With a Drunken Sailor?"

Not only is this a song, but its also a situation question. You can't take his keys or pull the distributor wire.

Good stuff.

Anything by Jimmy Buffet.

I only heard it once, I don't know who it's by, I don't think its a song about sailing, and I've never listened to it while I sail, but ... it has two great lines that would be a perfect caption for a photo of me sailing - instead of doing all the things I should be doing.

"the spring winds blew away ...
my list of things I had to do today"

Sounds like me when we actually get a breeze around Raleigh.

Ride Captain Ride

Seventy-three men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay,
Rolled off of their ship
And here's what they had to say.
"We're callin' everyone to ride along
To another shore,
We can laugh our lives away
and be free once more."
But no one heard them callin',
No one came at all,
'Cause they were too busy watchin'
Those old raindrops fall.
As a storm was blowin'
Out on the peaceful sea,
Seventy-three men sailed off
To history.
Ride, captain ride
Upon your mystery ship,
Be amazed at the friends
You have here on your trip.
Ride captain ride
Upon your mystery ship,
On your way to a world
That others might have missed.
(Instrumental)

Sail On, by the original 80s rastapunk band, Bad Brains!!!

If you like to take a Hobie 14 to windward in a 25-knot breeze and 3-foot swells, traveled out, two-blocked, driving from the trapeze, and launching off the wavecrests, this is the sailing song for you!

Singlehanded Sailor by the Dire Straits

"Around Cutty shark the men on the barches say,
She's going to slip away from below him.
From what he's done. But When the wind goes wailing,
the single handed sailor goes sailing"

And so on with a nice piece of upbeat music accompanying it. And this guitars imitate the wailing winds that wistles and screams through the rigging.



And I always wanted to blast throught the surf with wind force 5 while hearing the pop song "sharp dressed man" By ZZtop. "Coz, every girl is crazy about a ..."

Chip, I hear you have a CD with all your favorite sailing songs that you played at Delray Drag. I s'pose it isn't legal to copy and sell a thing like that, but can you give us the list of the songs on it so people can hunt them down themselves?

"Come Sail Away" by Cartman from southpark. Sounds like real sailor singing.

"Mistral Wind" by Heart

In preperation for the tybee-500 my brother and I have been triing to figure how to carry over 10 hours of music on the boat without needing to change a cd or battery. Our other big problem is that we need a way to keep the system dry, and power and amplifier so that the music will be loud enouh to hear! So far this is what we have figured out....
The player we have bought is a 10Gb MP3 player... this is about 3x the memory of the songs I have, and is enough to hold over 10000 min of music, or about 4000 songs. It is powered by a lith-ion battery with a play-back battery life of 16 hours. The unit is slightly smaller than a small disc-man and weighs less than a pound.
I next canabalized an amplifier out of a pair small sony portable speakers and re-wired it so that it will accept 8 AA batteries instead of the 4 that were originally powering it (double the battery life, should play for over 30 hours without killing the batterys). The amp and player fit into a small rubermaid container which will seal and keep the water off of the parts that need to 'stay dry!' A small hole has been drilled in the container and the speaker wires thread out and sealed with a little 5200. I then purchased a pair of 4.5 x 4.5 waterproof speakers from west marine which come with brackets to mount the speakers. the thought is that we will mount these right behind the tacktic on the spin pole and run the speaker wires back to the tramp where the 'container' will be stored in the tramp bag with other safety gear.
On initial tests it seems to be working great, and our only problem is that we need to find the volume that is appropriate for still hearing the puffs and other important sounds on the water! Also putting together play lists... we have LOTS of music, but what of it do you want to hear while sailing up the entire florida and georgia east coast!?!?!
