A love of sea songs is helpful but not essential. It's just great to get together with 70 or so people of all ages and sing aboard these old ships. You should be warned, though, that the experience can be addictive and before you know it you'll be purchasing nautical CD's, striped shirts, Greek captain hats, and concertinas. Cheerily, Charley Noble, who even changed his name! |
