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.

Great list. But I noticed one thing. You have Jimmy Buffet's "mother ocean" and "Mother Ocean" listed separately. To the best of my knowlege the correct title of the song that starts off "Mother, mother, ocean" is actually "A Pirate Looks at Forty".

Then you also have Jimmy Buffet's "Pirate" listed. I'm not aware of such a song unless this is also a reference to "A Pirate Looks at Forty".

And then you have the same song by Jack Johnson listed.

I wonder if the votes for all these four items were consolidates it would make the top ten?
