what expressions does on use to wish good luck to someone who is setting of on a sailing adventure? A friend just signed on for a
4 month tour of duty on a private cargo ship in the south seas...
from Hawaii to Cook islands to Line Islands.

Would "full sheets and a rolling sea" be a good wish?

"red sails in the sunset?"

I want to make a c.d. of shanties to send to him and the rest of the crew!!
