 Eileen
Quinn - Music for Sailors and normal
people.........
Early on in her sailing adventures, Eileen discovered
that there wasn't a lot of music describing the life she
was experiencing. The traditional sea shanties don't do
it. She began writing songs about the really important,
but neglected aspects of cruising: how anchoring leads
to marital breakdown; why weather forecasters shouldn't
be trusted; what it is about comfortable harbors that
seems to scuttle any plans to leave.
...the perfect little parking place is easy to find
all you really gotta do is read his mind, if what your honey wants is hard to tell, when the hand signals fail you can always yell....grind your teeth, shout till you're hoarse, there's always one more step, you can file for divorce, no better way to test a true romance than to do, do, do, do, do.....do the anchoring dance.
She's got two great albums and yes, she is still sailing
and living the life of a sailor. And the Anchoring
Dance! Click for a taste of the tunes... |

- In the summer of 1995, after some years of planning and preparation, my friend Sarah and I gave up our jobs in the City
of London to take a year off and sail across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. The original plan was to do the standard
"Atlantic Circuit" and sail the boat back to England the following year. But when we were there, we liked it so much that
we decided to leave the boat there, go home to earn some more money, then come back and carry on.
