oh please mates, sing me a capstan shanty! Baz I am so jealous! I was sailing back from the Bahamas with my folks one time on the Winlassie ( I lived aboard as a youngster up on on Lake St. Clair)and a tall ship came up on it's way by us. I was awestruck. I wish I could see them all together!

and Mick thanks for the Lark in the Morning you sent. It does tie up the two I have been struggling with and I will sing it on our next Irish night in the piney woods... ..

harp of Lambent late....
