So I "found" this album recently that a couple made after they came back from 7 months on their Cape Dory. Perhaps some good listening while waiting for your adventures to begin, or a soundtrack to play while beam reaching towards your next destination. Anybody know of any other good sailfar-ish music?

Great find! Love the sound, interesting & unique. ...Grog!!! ;D
Other sailing/boating/cruising music - I am assuming that Buffett shan't be mentioned, that we all know about *him* ;) - of course, there is Kenny Chesney. Similar to "Buffett-of-old" is Eric Stone (http://www.boatsongs.com/) and Larry Joe Taylor (http://larryjoetaylor.com) (Thanks, CJ!) out of Texas, and Pat Dailey (http://www.patdailey.com/) from up in Put-In Bay & KeyWest.
I listen to lots of other kinds & types, too, depending on the mood. Anything from Classical to Big Band to Punk or Modern Rock, etc...
And some coffee with a little Wyndham Hill playing very softly while sunrise breaks over an anchorage, can't be beat. :)
Marujo,
FWIW, that album and website has been making a big splash (sorry) on the Cape Dory bulletin board for awhile.

It has to be Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries... ;D
