need help/advice for (late) holiday gift for cruising friends

We have some good cruising friends that we exchange small gifts with around the holidays. This year I'm thinking about making up a CD with a collection of cruising/boating/etc songs. Here is the current list - in no particular order

Ready for the Storm Déanta
Working On My Boat Eileen Quinn
Hills Of Isle Au Haut Gordon Bok
A Boat Like Gideon Brown Great Big Sea
Jamaica Farewell Harry Belafonte
One Particular Harbour Jimmy Buffett
Son Of A Son Of A Sailor Jimmy Buffett
Fiddler's Green Schooner Fare
Portland Town Schooner Fare
Fogarty's Cove Stan Rogers
The Mary Ellen Carter Stan Rogers
Orinoco Flow Lisa Kelly, Órla Fallon & Méav Ní Mhaolchatha
Christian Island (Georgian Bay) [1988 Version] Gordon Lightfoot
(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay Otis Redding
If I Had a Boat Lyle Lovett
The Downeaster "Alexa" Billy Joel
Terra Nova James Taylor
The Ocean Richard Hawley

Any other suggestions? Trying to get a variety of types of music. Any songs on that list that you hate? Its sometimes tricky to pick music for others without pushing your own taste on them (:

thanks

Van

PS - Christopher Cross's Sailing is not on the list on purpose!!
