Re: music to play sailing
Great great grandmother was a Ross from the Isle of Skye. Went there a few years back, probably the first in five generations to do so. Magic place.

Re: music to play sailing
Oh Ozzie, you crack me up mate. My problem is I have not displayed any of my ancestry when it has come to the restoration of my Investigator. In fact a certain saying comes to mind. "Q. Is this near enough? A. If its perfect, then it will be near enough" ( my woodwork teacher from High School) There must be another influence at work when it comes boats. This may well be the Viking influence. When I looked up my surname in the ancestry data base. It said " a most unusual Scottish name, previously from Normandy. " ( hence my love of boats ?). I wonder if the Vikings used to like spending money on their boats?

Well, they skimped on a roof 
But.... they did have a sound system. One drummer and he was always on the beat. That’s if the movies were correct. I was shattered to find they didn’t actually wear hats with horns.
