Sail Away Playlist

We’ve been brainstorming what music we want to hear when we sail away. Here are snippets from some of my favorites.

Rockin’ All Over the World by Status Quo

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Eurythmics

Where the Adventure Begins by Tim Halperin

Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) by Enya

The Ballad of Gilligan’s Isle (slightly modified)


Anyone have other suggestions? (Nina J, I could use your expertise in this…)

  1. Jimmy Buffett’s Son of a Son of a Sailor

    “Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind
    That our forefathers harnessed before us
    Hear the bells ring as the tight rigging sings
    It’s a son of a gun of a chorus
    Where it all ends I can’t fathom my friends
    If I knew I might toss out my anchor
    So I cruise along always searchin’ for songs
    Not a lawyer a thief or a banker
    But a son of a son, son of a son
    Son of a son of a sailor
    Son of a gun, load the last ton
    One step ahead of the jailer
    I’m just a son of a son, son of a son
    Son of a son of a sailor
    The sea’s in my veins, my tradition remains
    I’m just glad I don’t live in a trailer”

    1. Oooh yes! I love this:

      Takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be
      Just a dream and the wind to carry me
      And soon I will be free
      Well, it’s not far back to sanity
      At least it’s not for me
      And if the wind is right you can sail away
      And find serenity
      Oh, the canvas can do miracles
      Just you wait and see, really, believe me
