Athy 901 Report post #2 Posted October 26, 2018 Hadn't heard this before - Very soothing, uplifting and peaceful, much more so than the only other 'Caldonia' I know, by Louis Jordan's Tympany Five. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you take the 'e' out, it lets in the noise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fender151 12 Report post #6 Posted October 26, 2018 I have memories of sailing from Oban down the West coast to Falmouth and then across to Le Harve, on a 55ft Nicholson yacht a lifetime ago. As we left Oban we ran into a force 5 gusting to chucking-up. Whilst I love the imagery, serenity in the video, struggling to reconcile it with the terrors of the deep we experienced those first days, I was offered and took a place as crew couple of years later, Portsmouth to Gib, happy days experience, may have something to do with a particularly lovely lass I got to know on the trip. This is not meant to be the start of a war stories saga, just saying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
