Sail Away
Randy Newman
“Sail Away” is representative of Newman’s trademark unconventional and clever approach to songwriting: it takes the form of a “come on” or a “pitch” from an American slave trader to potential slaves. The slaver attempts to convince his listeners to climb aboard his ship and “sail away” with him to America, which he portrays as a land of happiness and plenty.
The lyrics contain several subtle references to the extreme ideological dichotomy going on in America at the time of the slave trade. For example, the slaver sings “In America, every man is free,” emphasizing the American ideal of liberty. However, after a caesura he quickly concludes that sentence with “to take care of his home and his family,” implying that every man in fact isn’t “free” in every sense of the word.
In America you'll get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American
Ain't no lions or tigers ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Everybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard little wog sail away with me
Sail away sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American
Sail away sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

This image was taken on a Party Boat "Voyager". It was "one of those days" that the fish do not even bite your bait. It was a long day. I caught a handful of black seabass for the whole day trip. The sailboat was about approximately 3 miles along the coastline of Belmar, NJ.
This is a little bit better to view LARGE.

Boston, USA for the Extreme Sailing Series from onboard Oman Air skippered by Sidney Gavignet! DesTopNews the sailing updates!
Sailed on this ship back in 1985 for a vacation with my Dad and brother....
It's loss was very sad...
Thirty-one men had run for their lives from Hurricane Mitch for a day and a half. They sailed north, sailed south, then tacked east and west, back and forth in futility, behind a little island of cover. But it left them in a virtual vise, walled in between 50-foot waves and 100-mph winds where sea and sky merged into a vast howling whiteout.
To the south and west lay the shoals of Honduras and Belize. To the north and east, more of Mitch. Their young captain tried vainly to thread a needle to safety. But as he clung to the helm two Wednesdays ago, drenched and exhausted, the deck beneath him listing a sickening 40 degrees -- his sense of right, left, up or down was likely lost in the maelstrom of foam and spray.
Experienced mariners can tell you what comes next. You want to lie down and go to sleep. When the ship starts falling apart, you are just waiting -- and wanting -- to die.
The Fantome was the $15 million, self-insured pride of Miami Beach-based Windjammer Barefoot Cruises Ltd., a sailing line. Its president, Michael D. Burke, said he started 51 years ago when he got drunk in Miami and woke up the next morning in bleary possession of a $600, 19-foot sloop he dubbed the Hangover. Over the years, his fleet grew to six.
The Fantome itself had a far more regal beginning. It was built for the Duke of Westminster 71 years ago, and Aristotle Onassis later bought it as a wedding for Princess Grace and Prince Rainier. But the princess, foolish girl, left the mogul off her guest list and never got the boat.
Burke bought it in 1969, gave the 282-foot, steel-hull ship a $6 million, four-masted makeover, and registered it out of exotic Equatorial Guinea, a small sliver of impoverishment in West Africa.
The seagoing pros and cons of steel-hull vessels are the subject of Sebastian Junger's 1997 best-seller, The Perfect Storm, the tale of a fleet of New England swordfish boats caught near Newfoundland by Hurricane Grace in 1991: ''Steel is tough compared to wood, don't let anyone tell you different. Steel goes down faster, though. It goes down . . . well, like a load of steel.''
Still, the Fantome was considered a solid vessel, and when its massive sails were filled making way to windward, it was romance in motion, needing neither roulette wheels nor ice swans to seduce its passengers. Breakfast was a Bloody Mary; dinner attire was T-shirt and shorts; passengers dived off the side to snorkel, and climbed back up on rope ladders -- all the simple tropical pleasures that $1,500 to $2,000 a week could buy.
The 32-year-old captain, Guyan March, who had windsurfed in the British Isles from the time he was a young boy, liked to say he wasn't chopped squid either. He had piloted Windjammers since his early 20s, was respected by his crew, and was highly regarded by women for his good looks and sea tales. His brother, Paul, also sails for Windjammer.
A great shot heavenward that captures the wind filling our sails! A day sail on the Eastern Star to enjoy the beautiful sighs of Lunenburg and environs from the water!
The sailing schooner Liberte sails by the full moon on Nantucket Sound on a beautiful warm evening on August 28, 2007. The wind was very light, but sufficient to straighten out the American Flag on the ship's stern for this photo.

I was doing some time-lapse video test on my new Olympus OMD EM-10 and was sitting by a side when I spot this sail boat sailing towards me from the Doha end of the Pearl.
I took my Nikon D610 body with Tamron 70-200 lens which was stand by and start to wait patiently till it pass the sun.
There you go.. hope you like it.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore.
Dream.
Discover.
