Sailing music playlist- CP Style

[Finbar Beagle]

Folks,

I have been refining my sailing music playlist, and wanted to share a few gems it the hopes others will add theirs.  I sail with Celtic/Irish Traditional music, as the gives us the roving, Viking mood, but this list is rock/ folk/ country centered.

Into the mystic- van Morrison
All along the lee shore- Crosby, Stills Nash and Young (either a Stills or Crosby song)
Fisherman's blues- the water boys
I'm your Captain- grand funk railroad

If you post some more, I will too. 

All the best,
Brian

Before I start teaching my Marlinspike classes I usually have sea shanties playing in the room.

We usually play the Lumineers or as my father's calls it, IPA music, since we'll usually sip session IPA's when sailing at sunset.  My brother-in-law introduced us to "Yacht Rock". Just type it into your digital music service and it's a varied collection of artist. Pandora is an interesting service as it'll take your request and then expand from there to various artist. Good if you're in the mood to hear different things but it can go sideways quickly if you're request is already on the fringe. I guess algorithms can't replace humans when it comes to none mainstream music.

Have to blast out "Heartland" by Celtic Thunder when leaving the harbor.

I may be an outlier here, but I don't care for music while sailing. I do keep a Bose Bluetooth speaker on the boat and always have music going when I'm working on projects or at cocktail hour at the marina, but once I leave the dock I don't want to hear anything other than wind, water and seagulls. To each his own!

we are with Wes
the music of the wind through the sails
and the hull through the water
is all that's wanted/needed
but
hey
some folks like butter-pecan ice cream too

I do enjoy both, with and without music.  Deprends on conditions, number of powerboats nearby, and theme.

Nothing ruins a sail more for me than hearing the roar, and smelling the exhaust, of the power boats on steroids.  This may be a NJ Shore issue, but a good Celtic (lunasa, Altan, Gaelic storm) tune can put things to right.

when solo its music, when accompanied with crew its wind and waves. gotta love that shakedown cruise

When helping a family sail their newly purchased sailboat from the British V.I. back to Maine some time back I listened with a good headset to a lot of Billie Holiday, CD's then. Mellow as was most of the  voyage. Now I usually just listen to music when anchored. I still enjoy the old style female jazz vocalists.
