I work in a boat shop and I'm trying to conjure together a good compilation of ocean themed New Wave tunes to counteract the miserably banal Jimmy Buffet/Kenny G garbage that they insist on playing. All I have so far is:

This Is The Sea (Waterboys)
Six Months In A Leaky Boat (Split Enz)
Seven Seas (Echo)
Shipbuilding (Elvis C)

any ideas, oh ye of all Nu-ness?
