After reading Greg's thread on speakers, I started thinking of good music for the collection on the boat. I know a purist would say there is nothing better than the wind and waves, and there is some truth in that, but there is a time and place for everything.
These are some of my favourites:
For the start of a race:
Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries (a very Viking piece)
Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture
The Police - Synchonicity 2
Ultravox - Reap the Wild Wind
For sunset:
Handel - Watermusic
Mozart - Requiem
The Morriston Orpheus Choir - Myfanwy
Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellites
Chumbawamba - One by One
For sunrise:
Grieg - Morning
The Stranglers - Always the Sun
The Waterboys - The Return of Pan
For reaching the mouth of the bay:
Enya - Orinoco Flow, or Storms in Africa
For when the weather turns sour:
Eurythmics - Here Comes the Rain Again
Supertramp - It's Raining Again
The Alarm - Rain in the Summertime
Or the weather turns really sour:
ACDC - Hell's Bells
For a summerday beer sail: Chumbawamba - The Good Ship Lifestyle
Madness - Night Boat to Cairo
For taking out landlubber guests:
Gordon Lightfoot - Edmund Fitzgerald
I will stop there, but if you have any particular pieces or songs that stand out as favourites, I like to hear of them to add to my collection.
