Favorite Sailing Songs
I enjoy listening to music as much as I enjoy sailing but rarely do I listen to music while sailing. I prefer the sounds of nature while sailing. However, it is those classic sailing songs that stir up great memories and gets me thru my non-sailing (winter) season.
Although there are many excellent sailing songs to choose from here is my top 5 at the moment.
- Sailing – Rod Stewart
- Pirate looks at forty – Jimmy B
- Son of a sailor – Jimmy B.
- If I had a boat – Lyle Lovett
- Sailing to Philadelphia – Mark Knopfler
Post your own top 5 and we will have a good start to a cool playlist.
