re: Favourite Cruising Songs?
I've been doing the same thing! And have been meaning to start a similar thread after seeing the ones on movies and blogs!

Classics: Come Sail Away - Styx
Longer boats - Cat Stevens

Newfie/Irish Folk:
Bonny Ship the Diamond - Tranby Croft
A Hull Full of Oil and Bone - Listing Ship
Tobacco Island - Flogging Molly
Old Polina - Great Big Sea
The Mermaid - Great Big Sea (personal favorite)

Look forward to hearing everyone's suggestions!

"Orinocco Flow" (Sail Away) by Enya
"Isla Bonita" by Madonna
"Caribbean Blue" by Enya
"Safe and Sound" by Capital Cities... Reminds me of the energy and atmosphere experienced anchored off the beach on Formenterra, Sp

While underway these albums are favorites:
Greatest hits of REM
Greatest hits and the complete collection of Bob Marley

Petula Clark singing "Sailor". I also like the French version, perhaps even more: "Marin"

re: Favourite Cruising Songs?
Here are a lot of suggestions. But, there are some new ones posted here already, and I don't think you can have too many boat songs.
http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...-by-67333.html

I like
Crosby, Still, & Nash - Southern Cross
Harry Nilsson - Everybody's Talkin' At Me
Zac Brown Band - Toes
Jim Morris - Laid Back And Key Wasted
Blues Image - Ride Captain Ride
Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island
Jimmy Buffett - Margaritaville

Underway, night watch when others are sleeping, I like quite songs where the words have meaning. Leonard Cohen, Bob. Dylan. Makes the watch fly by.

No one has mentioned "Rod Stewart - Sailing" yet?

Or how about "Split Enz - 6 months in a leaky boat"?
