Oh, The Canvas Can Do Miracles...

There are many ways to mark the start of Summer, but my new favorite is to tune in to the Yacht Rock Channel on SiriusXM (Channel 18).  This limited-time treat offers the tunes that take you back to your youth as you sat on the beach with your parents and your portable radio.

The 2016 season of SiriusXM Yacht Rock started on 6/20 at 5 PM EST

For the next three months, I will use this station as my own personal background music as I make my way toward the sand each week and cruise along the Atlantic coast.

1.  Robbie Dupree - Steal Away
2.  Gerry Rafferty - Right Down The Line
3.  Seals & Crofts - Summer Breeze
4.  Christopher Cross - Sailing
5.  10CC - Dreadlock Holiday
6.  Boz Scaggs - Lowdown
