Somethin' 'Bout A Boat Wednesday @ the MSC

[Saltx3]

Also a Key West glass bottom boat tour, although that was the morning after a late late late night at Margaritaville back probably 20 years ago so not in the best "frame of mind" shall we say.

That's never happened to any of us!!

What Penny said......

[SMLCHNG]

Gilligan's' Island Theme Song

Yep, that's a good one!!

But "Good Ship Lollipop" just makes me laugh and smile.

[Rabbitz]

I've been told I have played with too many boats. Nah, that's not possible!

I have been on big boats, little boats, flying boats, floating boats, jumping boats, sinking boats and sunken boats.

I have knowingly boarded sinking boats, burning boats and I have boarded both by sea and by air!

Would I ever own a boat again? Nope - there's no navigable waters around these parts!

[bodypainter]

That sounds painful, Tammy! Good luck kid.

I tried counting boating/sea songs while eliminating Buffett and the Beach Boys. I couldn't think of many.

Many years ago I went through my iTunes library and made a 4 CD Boats, Beaches Bars and Ballads set without using any Buffett songs. Give me a little time to open my library and I'll give you some boat songs.

The theme from Jaws.

[bodypainter]

Ha! I watch this one on youtube and hear it constantly on yacht rock ... Sailing.

[parrotinparadise]

Wow! Today in the Cafe we've got poo-picking, groceries, sailing ships, eye appointments, sea cruises and excursions, windows n sidings, house construction, and above all it's Hump Day!

Go Patriots

I have a six-month follow-up appointment with my opthamologist to check my right eye to make sure that a retinal hemorrhage is still in check. It was first detected about 4 years ago, and I've been going back every six months since. It seems to ebb and flow and so far I've avoided having an injection in my eye (phew!).

Speaking of ebbing and flowing...

What distance to you have to travel to get the navigable waters?

Just over an hour on the highway to the Murray River I would think is the closest.

I saw a great film on Murray cod. Nice fishy!

HELLO MOOOOOOOG!!!!

[Rabbitz]

I saw a great film on Murray cod. Nice fishy!

Sadly they are a vanishing species. Slow to reproduce and long lived.

The once mighty Murray River (or River Murray if you are from these parts????) is suffering from water extraction by cotton and rice farming two states away and recurrent droughts. The driest habitable continent on the planet and they grow rice and cotton... Don't get me started.

The Murray Cod is a spectacular river fish and I am told it fights like a marlin on the line.

Not too many: "Sailing" by Christopher Cross & "Come Sail Away" by Styx come to mind...

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
The Downeaster Alexa

Mr. SPH - Those were the first 2 I thought of as well...
So my contributions are Peter's Dream (Lennie Gallant), Lukey's Boat (Great Big Sea) and Calypso (John Denver)

[bodypainter]

Ilove 'em! Calypso and The Wreck are great songs. Here's more

Tie Up

Redneck Yacht Club

Ride Captain Ride

Brandy

[SMLCHNG]

Footnote: I LOVE Calypso!!! But I loved John Denver. Best show of his was at "Fiddlers Green" in Denver, (and singing "Rocky Mountain High" facing the mountains. It's the same place I saw Jimmy for the first time in 1996.
