I think Sailm8 nailed it. How much are you straining on that winch handle?

 

[Gary_H]

No, not trumpets just a squeeky sheeve and somebody yelling...hey shouldn't you untie from the dock first.........

I hear something other than a

model who's holding the instrument with hands backwards (the photo on the HOW home page.)

Yeah, I know, the image could be reversed but I doubt it. I always hate it when actors/models pretend to be musicians.

Sorry, just an OT rant.

I hear the pppsssshhhhtttt of my beer bottle cap being popped then all I hear is the motor boats with there baffles removed as they somehow like the throaty sound of the engine gulping all the fuel

When I hoist my canvas, instead of hearing trumpets, I stop hearing my wife complaining.

 

[SailingCal21]

Does anyone else hear trumpets when they raise their sails?

Yes, definitely. Sometimes its kinda a ta-da kinda tune and sometimes its the "Call to Post" tune before a horse race. I always thought that its mostly in my head so I never told anyone before. Glad that I not alone here.

Maybe she's left handed .....

That's the angel Gabriel alerting your gaurdian angel that you are venturing into harm's way.

I hear this lovely voice coming from below saying, you dump me on the floor again and you can fix your own supper. RUH ROH. =))

I was in a sailboat for 2 weeks and swore I heard old time radio anytime I tried to get to sleep. No trumpets though.

It takes a moment for my trumpets to start playing, but here's what I hear - Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries

No Trumpets(though I'm a trumpet player myself), but instead blessed silence while the admiral asks if I'm ready for a cold one or Jimmy Buffet(who else?) if I'm singlehanding, while 'cabin dog' pushes his bowl my way to let me know that HE's ready for a cold one!

Amazing grace on bag pipes, bow wave gurgle and ice clinking in my Jack and ice.

 

[ChuckThomas]

We sailed on the Royal Clipper last fall. They played "1492 Conquest of Paradise" every evening when we set sail. All I can say is awsome.

Personally, I always hear (in my head) the theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark. I know it has nothing to do with sailing, but it's a catchy tune that always makes me think of the adventure that awaits...

Liked MissTerri's reference to "Orinoco Flow, one of my favorites.

We like to play Amazing Grace when raising the sails. We first heard it played when raising the sails on Legacy, the former Windjammer Barefoot Cruises sailing vessel, years before we acquired Resolution. It struck a cord, and we adopted it ourselves. The bagpipes just seem right. Almost puts a lump in your throat.

I'm adding this to my library- crank it up at the dock and you'll get encouragement to sail away:

I wish I hadn't seen that! I sure hope I can get that out of my head...

 

[sailormanbigd]

i would have to agree notcook. I suppose everyone has their own opinion, though. I was going to close it early but stayed till the bitter end. It never ceases to amaze me when they say they are sailing away on the sea in a motor boat !?
