Sailing Away… The SWR

[Fletch]

Sailing Away

Heading forward, no looking back,
Making headway, on destiny’s tack.
Follow the charts, where tides collide,
Guided by stars, on oceans we glide.

Head to lands, unseen and untamed,
Winds that whisper, surroundings unnamed.
Following dreams, the passage weaves,
Echoes of the heart, heard in the breeze.

The weather breaks, revealing course,
Navigate seas, unwavering force.
Heavens emerge, illuminate moorings,
Nature unveiled, peaceful adoring.
Far, Far, Far, Far
Sailing away, evocative days,
Exploring ways, to forgotten bays,
Sailing away, sailing away.

Heading uncharted, wayfaring souls,
To open waters, where mystery unfolds.
Follow the moment, passing the cape,
Embrace the journey, our mundane escape.

Head for Horizons, rewards unfold,
Glaciers and fjords, tales untold.
Following desires, of distant shores,
Passing way points, adventures doors.

The weather breaks, revealing course,
Navigate seas, unwavering force.
Heavens emerge, illuminate moorings,
Nature unveiled, peaceful adoring.
Far, Far, Far, Far
Sailing away, evocative days,
Exploring ways, to forgotten bays,
Sailing away, sailing away.

The subtlety the palm muting brings to take us into the song is very effective. Calming vocals throughout; the harmonies, and tasty guitar on top that comes in the chorus; and most excellent mix; take us there. Well done!

Thank you for taking the time and your kind words Phil… 🙏 😀

Putting together writing, practicing, collaboration, recording, and production. Much time and effort. It was worth it.

Fortunately for me… @stevep and @JulieI do all the hard work… 😆

And… Thank You Sir… 🙏

@Fletch – Tony tells us to find our “North Star” and must say you are clearly on course in your songwriting and guitar journey. Continued success in 2024.

[Fletch]

Thank you Jack… 🙏

I’m heading somewhere, I just don’t know where yet… And don’t really care, just having fun… 😀

Sailing Sweet Ruca

We are two racing sailors that decided to go cruising. We sold it all, bought a sailboat, re-fit it ourselves for offshore sailing, and took off into the ocean with the goal of sailing around the world via the capes. … Continue reading

Well there went an hour of time I could have played but sailed virtually instead.

The Beagle Channel is the only place in the world I ever “almost was seasick”. Ushuaia is a hidden gem but the magic place is Puerto Williams Chile the last official Chilean Check point

Oh I can get seasick on a Lilo in the Solent… 😆
