I Went To Sea Today, So You'll Also Get To Go To Sea Again...

I didn't necessarily think I'd repost this again today, but, you know, life. I am currently on holidays, enjoying a couple of days by the sea. Which means that from time to time by the ocean, I began to sing or hum one of my beloved Gordon Lightfoot shanties, mostly "Christian Island" or parts of the "Seven Island Suite". And, well, guess where I went today? Why, around the seven islands, of course! Not Gordo's seven islands, of course. Of the coast here - which carries the interesting - and fitting! - name Pink Granite Coast, because the stone is, well, granite of a pinkish color. It's a really localized thing, only 8 km of shoreline form the Pink Granite Coast. And in front og that coast, there is a small archipelago called les sept isles, the seven islands, which are a protected nature reserve mostly made from inhabitable rock, inhabited by a dozen different species of birds - including hundreds of gannets and dozens of puffins - and a family of seals. 

So, obviously I hummed and partially sang "Seven Island Suite" for the rest of the day, which was spent on the beach. And one side effect is obviously, that getting to our holiday home, I had to put on some Gordon Lightfoot. And now that I'm close to the sea, so will you, if you hav'nt checked out my little compilation of Lightfoot's seafaring songs, Shanties. As before, ten fine tracks including classics like "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald", "High And Dry" and the aforementioned tracks. 

So, set sail again with Mr. Lightfoot. And of course there will be new music coming your way this weekend. Now, bring me that horizon...
