Album Notes

Sail the 600 mile - 6 week journey from Port Clinton Ohio to Sheboygan Wisconsin across three Great Lakes. Original New Age piano and orchestra from Cliff Odenkirk - All electronic easy listening written while on this 6 week journey. Feel the gentle rocking of the boat - safe in Manistique harbor while waves crash over the breakwall. The excitement on an unexpected thunderstorm while crossing Thunder Bay, the calm of Catawba.
