Sorry- slip o' th' digit

Check out Fred Gosbee's "Cappy John's Bride"- about a shy captain who needs a new boat and ends up with more in the bargain!

Also Frank Gotwals,a lobsterman from Stonington ME wrote a wonderful "Boat Blessing" to be played at launchings

Gordon Bok's "Dark Old Waters " is a classic

I also remember a song called "Boats to Build" by Guy Clark

We have a number of boat-building musicians here in mid-coast Maine-in fact Nick Appollonio (also guitar builder extraordinaire) is upstairs in our recording studio at this very moment! I'll ask him about boat-building songs when he takes a break
