We like the soundtrack from Sea Biscuit. It makes us think we're going fast!

I'm not any help because I don't know the name of it.
My mate picked it up, a CD, and we just have a boom box, not these drilled through the bulkhead speaker hole contraptions some of you have.
The artist is something like 'Yoli'. Maybe his greatest, whatever.
Anyway, we get our sails up in Dickerson Bay harbor and begin to drift out the long winding channel (couple miles) to the Gulf. We ease past beautiful uninhabitable beaches (sandbar lumps) with young wives and kids frolicking in the warm shallow water and then we round a point where the mullet fishermen put in. Watching them is probably like watching iron workers dance across steal beams ten stories high. Single handed, they plunk their wide shallow boats into the wide channel and leap from shore to deck. Big rubber boots, jeans, checkered flannel shirts, and baseball caps. This particular guy looks three sheets to the wind and he's bouncing up and down on the bow and out the boat comes. They have gathered busy very busy.
The rippling alongside our hull is drowned by the morning breeze and they don't hear us coming up on them. I turn the volume knob up and punch this button that reads 'band'. A small chorus of women begin to scream and the kettle drums begin to beat real loud and the women begin to really scream. The noise makes me constrict and stop breathing for a moment. The kids off the far quarter dance with their arms in the air. The fisherman on our beam pause and stare. A big white balloon appears over their heads within which is written, 'what the sh~t with this?'.
Next time out I'm going to tone it down a bit. There's a piece recommended a while back on the board. A Wagner piece. Something about dance or flight of the Vulkees. Anyway, it's the one Duval used in his chopper calvary charge coming 50 feet over the Gulf of Tonkin on a Cong village in Apocalypse Now. After which he expresses his love for the smell of napalm in the morning.
After we get out to sea, she's got another mail order CD, Titanic. Gheesus tili!

Jimmy Buffett is my hero! IMHO, Buffett is what all sailors should aspire to be. I mean, the guy has made a living by sailing, flying, and drinking, then writing songs about it. How cool is that? I also enjoy Irish folk music while sailing. Don't know why, I'm just weird. My fav is a band called "Gaelic Storm". They were in the movie "Titanic". (The party band in 3rd class)
Long live Parrotheads!

Thanks Mike. I'm too tired/lazy to go out to the truck and look this stuff up. The boogie man might get me.
240,000 lbs.! No wonder they make you guys pay all the 'taxes'. That's up front. We pay later.

I dont know if it is classified as music......
but my favorite thing to hear when I am out sailing by myself or in really crappy weather....
Is that distant sound of a helicoptor/rotors.. something very reassuring about that.... maybe it is from my search and rescue days in the 70's...
TAkeoff in the powerboat is Always the DAngerzone song from Top gun.. Throw the throttle forward and bow points high when the horns and drums start...... A very testosteronish piece of music.....
Takeoff in the plane (on the intercom) is always always......RAdar love..by golden earring, with a nicked copy of the that drum solo appended to the beginnning.
But if I had a choice of theme piece for the mac it would be a song I cant remember the name of...... guy sailing a large sloop, been through the marquesas...cant remember the boats name...... but always liked that piece sailing.
Moe probably remembers the name right of the top of his head...

We've got 80 feet of waterline
nicely making way
That one?
