Eddie - Ya nailed it. Yep. Thnx.
In my post on the Dead I also mentioned the Beach Boys' "Sail On Sailor." It takes me back in many ways.
I have a fraction of the experience on the waters that many of you have. But, I've survived some crazy waters on the Great Lakes, Carib and oceans. When the waves seem unsurmountable or the diving currents seem too much, I always hum this tune. A slightly different take -

How nice. I will be seeing Mark Knophler in concert in October with the wife of the former captain of my boat and many of the crew who delivered her back and forth to the Caribbean. A reunion. Meanwhile, Murray - the captain - just sailed the straits of Corfu. Connections everywhere.

Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift. The video is very good also.

Swift's "Wildest Dreams" are a visual representation of what the Kenyan author Binyavanga Wainaina writes about in his Granta Magazine essay, "How to Write About Africa."
"In your text, treat Africa as if it were one country. It is hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and huge herds of animals and tall, thin people who are starving. Or it is hot and steamy with very short people who eat primates. Don't get bogged down with precise descriptions. Africa is big: fifty-four countries, 900 million people who are too busy starving and dying and warring and emigrating to read your book."

The video for her new song, "Wildest Dreams," conjures up a colonial-era Africa of magnificent landscapes, beautiful animals — and virtually no black Africans.

Kathy is quite computer-averse. After years of moaning and complaining, I found a tablet she loves (nope, not Apple.) After some doodling, she approved. A first! Then, I did some tweaking and linked her to our tunes database (offline on our server.) I told her to swipe to the app. I had set it up to do this tune as a "first try." The sound came through on our home sound system. She liked! "That was the tune on the radio when you took me out and we were stuck in heavy snow. Trucks were off the side of the road. We settled for a truck stop resto. OMG!" Blush.
