Who knows how to sail a square-rigger?

(Me, holding hand aloft and dancing from foot to foot). "I do! I do!"

35 years ago I was a volunteer crew member and mizzenmast captain aboard the barque Elissa at the Texas Seaport Museum in Galveston. (Photo in comments)

So it's a delight to discover the genre "Shanty Pop," with Sail North as a prime example. Take a listen.

One of my favorite songs at the moment. Is it because I'm working on my ren faire pirate coat and a mermaid book for 2025? Maybe.

But it's also got a good beat.
