    I'm ex Army and my Dad was a Tin Can Sailor (destroyer ) we would run together occasionally on Saturday mornings and whenever we were in the car he would put in a cassette of Navy songs , what he called " good music " of course just to rile me up and this was one of them. Can't listen to it without smiling . RIP Dad.

    I served 5 years in the Navy. I listen to this song every other week maybe 3-4 times in a row. My memories come back to me from when I served. The smell of salt in the ocean. The sound of the waves breaking against the hull. The constant rocking from port to starboard. The cold and warm breezes against my face. Just like upon land, the ocean is a world in and of itself. One that is vastly unfamiliar and mysterious. Yet pulls those towards it, like sirens of ancient Greece singing and enchanting sailors towards the water. I raise a glass of fine whiskey. Cheers to all those who have served at sea whether during times of peace, for war, for commerce, or simply for pleasure. Fair winds and following seas to all!

      That’s mad you said that, you just brought back a memory I hadn’t remembered in many years, my grandad on my mums side joined the navy after his discharge from the army in world war 2 (he was wounded liberating Eindhoven after taking part in the Normandy landings, he was only 17 when he landed) being a docker as a kid In Liverpool he always wanted to go to sea but when the war kicked off he lied about his age and joined his fathers company the Leicestershire rifles, when he finally went to sea the war was in its last few months and he was on the HMS Penelope as an engineer, grandad said after all the damage she took that when they returned they’d all started calling her HMS Pepperpot , my grandad was so sad to see her decommissioned, but he’s the crazy thing, my dad was a bit of a boy and finally got given the choice of borstal or the armed forces and he chose the Royal Navy, he was to be an engineer too and guess what his first commission was? The HMS Penelope 2, crazy that, they had a link years before me mum linked them by marriage, I couldn’t get in to the navy 3 times over the medical so had to settle for trawler fishing, something so magical and terrifying about the sea, I love how you immediately realise just how insignificant you are when you can no longer see land.. sorry for the boring life story just your comment really brought so much back that I hadn’t thought of in so many years... big love shipmate!

    I Listen to this and think about sailing when it was written.
    A hundred guys all working together under the most brutal law that existed at the time, eating weavilly ship's biscuit and drinking partially spoiled water, going months at a time without seeing land. Each man depended on the other to do their job, and they all faced the danger of storms and enemy action together. A slight misstep or misunderstanding from a man in the t'gallants could doom the entire crew to a horrible death.
    People say that guys in 'nam or WW2 were badasses. Maybe. My vote goes towards sailing men of war.

      I don't think being a pirate would be half as great as we make it seem to be =/.
      Although until recent occurrence of thoughts I really wanted to be one too.
      You sail around on these highly dangerous seas...each and every day holds a high chance you'll be taken by disease,sickness,hung or get caught in a storm and drown in salty seas..Add to it, all the friends you lose in the span of just a couple months....Sometimes passing their rotting corpses in the gallows and stuff =(
      Idk about you guys but losing good friends and crew would be the shittiest thing ever...
