"George of the Jungle" except every time they say "tree" you blast your fog horn

"For whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica.

Most sailboats only seem to have that one Jimmy Buffet song on board so..

@kboyd @sailing "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion (from Titanic)

@kboyd @sailing “Go West” by The Pet Shop Boys would be a bad idea.

Perhaps "Turn" by Travis?

one long loud blast on the horn every minute or so, of course! i don't recall what it's called though

Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You. Bonus effect if it's July.

"I am sailing" by Rod Stewart of course.
