George Harrison fantasized about going to sea with his supergroup, the Traveling Wilburys.
The former Beatle wanted to go on a ship tour with his fellow Wilburys - Tom Petty, Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison. According to Petty, the dream was prompted by Harrison's dislike of managers and booking agents.
"He said, 'We should get a ship, just sail around. We could pull into a cove and play to guys in outrigger canoes,'" Petty told Rolling Stone.
Harrison wanted to call the boat the "Sponsor Ship," according to Petty, and paint a different corporate logo on it every day to pay for the trip.
"He was so funny," Petty said.
Harrison died in 2001. The Traveling Wilburys recorded two studio albums, and are best known for the hit "End of the Line."
