You might simply try looking up 'sailing songs' online.You'll get a result numbering in the hundreds with all kinds of links. _________________________ A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is just putting on its shoes - Mark Twain

Music might be an ok forum - moving it to that one. Failing that, as ktstew says try searching online. _________________________ Many a child has been spoiled because you can't spank a Grandma!

jordandog Forum Champion Registered: Tue Apr 17 2007 Posts: 5097 Loc: Ohio USA	Yes we did and I for one learned a lot of new songs and looked up the histories behind them. It served it's purpose in that way! _________________________ The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
