Found website on hearing that tune yet again, and thought there must be someone else who finds the tune such an antidote to life affirmation! Ugggggh

Sailing By is redolent of the pernicious ‘cosy warm cardy’ thinking behind much of what comes out of Radio 4 – the ‘comfort factor’. It’s smug, complacent and safe and all the more dangerous because it is those things.

I have recently despaired of Radio 5 and changed to R4 for bedtime listening, amazed to hear the wonderful ‘Sailing By’, and searching everywhere to get a copy of the BBC version. I’m sure it would be a hit if published! Meanwhile does anyone have a link to the BBC version please?

Living a third of a world away from the UK, +8 GMT, I listen to Sailing By and the shipping forecast on the internet over my morning coffee,after which I can face the day’s horrendous weather: blue skies, sun, calm sea, with equine equanimity.

I just love this piece of music which reminds me of the sea. I go to sleep listening to it. Please never never never change it.
