Hey Everyone,
It's that time of the year again, no, not Christmas, I mean it's Atlantic crossing time. There is something completely magical about being at sea on night watch with a beautiful star-filled sky, breeze abaft the beam and a cracking playlist, making for some smooth sailing.
I'm a sucker for the golden oldie tunes, from growing up in a family with impeccable music taste to working with incredible people who have shared their love for music, most of my playlists include music that was written before my existence.
Mel's 10 Must-Have Songs;
Dreams- Fleetwood Mac Remaster 2004
Have you ever seen the Rain- Creedence Clearwater Revival
Disco Yes- Tom Misch, Poppy Ajundha
Let's Do it Again- J Boog
Walking on the Waves- Skipinnish
Ophelia- The Lumineers
Fly me to the moon Frank Sinatra
More than a Woman SG's Paradise Edition- Bee Gee's, SG Lewis
You Are the Best Thing- Sophie Faith
Bennie and the Jets- Elton John
Picking 10 songs from all of my playlists was a challenge, Music speaks to each person in a very different way. Personally, music is something that lifts me, and makes me happy, if I'm doing bilge yoga and still singing it's a good day.

I cannot wait to be back at sea again in less than a few weeks, It's the bit I love the most about my Job, watch Schedule, Sail changes, delicious midnight snacks and if you are really lucky, beautiful wildlife, Dolphins and whales.
As Always keep smiling Laughing and loving the Sea xo
Right that’s your playlist ready for a listen on my Spotify. Not going to sound the same on a dreary winters days here in Belfast though 😜🤣. Enjoy your crossing.
