Top 10 Sailing Songs – Honorable Mentions

Just outside the Top 10 Sailing Songs were a bunch of great songs that each got several votes. As you can see, the Parrotheads strike again. Damn , Jimmy B has a lot of great songs and a ton of passionate fans. There are some nice surprises that I haven't heard for a long time, like Split Enz' Six Months in a Leaky Boat and Otis Redding's Dock of Bay. The most polarizing song is Chris Cross's Sailing. there were as many people wanted it banned from the list as wanted it on. Thinking only positive thoughts it got an honorable mention. Here's the full list of Honorable Mentions: Rod Stewart - Sailing Jimmy Buffett - The Captain and the Kid Jimmy Buffet - one particular harbor Burl Ives- What do you do with a drunken sailor Lindisfarne - Fog on the Tyne Enya - Sail Away Gordon Lightfoot - Ghosts of Cape Horn Split Enz - Six months in a leaky boat Little River Band - Cool Change Enya - Orinoco Flow Jimmy Buffet - Pirate Grateful Dead - Ship of Fools Jimmy Buffet - mother ocean Paul Simon - American Tune Blue4s Image Ride Captain Ride Jack Johnson-  A Pirate Looks at Forty Chris De Burgh - Sailing Away Eric Bogel' - Safe in the Harbor Jimmy Buffett- Mother Ocean Loggins and Messina - Vahevala Grand Funk Railroad -Closer to my Home CSNY  - Wooden Ships Christopher Cross - Sailing Otis Redding - Dock of the Bay Beach Boys - Sail On Sailor Dire Straits - Singlehanded Sailor
