Good grief, yes, I should and will come up to Mystic again. This year, however, we're going to St. Thomas in July. I wonder if they do any singing there? I should probably write Roger Abrahams at Penn to see if there are any chantey contacts.

I learned a "One More Day" from the Boarding Party which seems very similar to yours. But this one phrase in Hugill intrigued me. I'm glad you answered here - I don't feel quite as stupid not getting a few simple words.

That "heave & sight" makes good sense.
