Wouldn't that be nice! I'd be in that, for sure! Never mind my terror of big waves, and the seasickness :-)

*sings* "don't mind the rain or the rolling sea...."

Meanwhile, I have found out from Mike Richter, who organises the James Craig sessions, that there is indeed one on Wednesday 23rd, starting around 7pm. I hope that date suits you. It is between the 16th which you mentioned, and the National, so I suspect it will.

Meanwhile, we have the shanty festival this Sunday, which unfortunately, for some reason, doesn't seem to be being very well publicised. It seems to be getting lost amongst all the other Sydney Harbour Week activities, but there will certainly be a lot of people around, so we should get a lot of passing traffic.

Here's a program of concert times on the James Craig on Sunday, for anyone who is interested.
