Favourite songs whilst at the helm

[Cruless]

Everybody has their favourite driving songs for the car but what are your favourite songs to helm to ? My favourite cruising song is van Morrison so quiet in here , and when we are leaving the marina my partner always finds it extremely amusing to play the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song!! the ultimate driving album has been done many times. Can we create the ultimate helm album ?

When we open the taps it's Chelsea Dagger by the Frattellis.

When at anchor alone it's Easy Like Sunday Morning by Lionel Rich Tea

Part time on the boat is anything by Fat Boy Slim

Chelsea dagger has now been added to my going for a blast list I can see that working well .

Always found it amusing to play Howard's Way theme on leaving berth.

[SEARANGER ANCASTER]

depends on location , sometimes Skerryvores "Put your hands up" but at last years commonwealth flottila in Glasgow it was a medley of "I belong to Glasgow " and "Sailing up the Clyde "

'He played his ukelele as the ship went down' by Bobby Comber rather than Leslie Saroni.

I delivered a boat back from La Rochelle. There was one Cd onboard. I know there are 1 million bicycles in Bejing!

A subject close to my heart at the moment having just had a stereo fitted to 'Smuggler's Blues' a fortnight ago.

Like Roger Rat I have the 'Howards' Way' theme tune for leaving the berth which amuses me even if no one else gets it.

Songs in my cruising playlist that have me reaching for the volume include:

Dignity - Deacon Blue
Shake It Off - Taylor Swift (I know, I'm sorry...)
Have A Nice Day - Stereophonics
The Boys Of Summer - Don Henley
Dock Of The Bay - Otis Redding
