ome occasions demand a great music play list and a day’s sport fishing charter out of Los Sueños Resort is one of them. In just ten days, Leg III of the Los Sueños Signature Triple Crown competition will begin, and we’ve put together the perfect soundtrack for you and your team. Given the distance from shore, it’s unlikely that streaming services such as Spotify, Pandora, SoundCloud or Apple Music will do you much good—cell service/Wi-Fi will probably be spotty; perhaps even non-existent. The best bet is to buy and download from digital music and store it on your phone or other smart device. MP3 Mixx is a good low-cost source, while music lovers prefer eMusic.com. The Apple Store, Google’s Play Store and Amazon are also treasure troves of your favorite tunes. If your captain has a good sound system aboard, you can probably play a CD you’ve burned; if he has a great system, you’ll be able to connect via Bluetooth to blast your jams. Find out in advance; you may need to bring along a good waterproof, Bluetooth speaker. In order to save you some time and effort in your music search we’ve put together our favorite playlist for a day out on the water. Shoving off:
