G'day,

Sandra did, indeed, get to the James Craig Shanty session ... along with Charlie, Brett & Judy ... and Canberra Chris - making the 3+ hours each way trip from Canberra just for the great session! In the end, we had 3 of the Roaring Forties: Margaret Walters, John Warner and Tom Hanson ... so the James Craig crew got some interesting cross-feed on shanty singing - in Australian and Maine accents! I hope this lays a foundation for wider interest in the James Craig - 1876 3-masted barque - her crewing and the shanty sessions.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
