Actually, Robert,

Gordon has quite a few "sailing" songs and sea faring type tunes, if you will notice. He is an avid sailor, and used to have a big yacht called "the grey goose"
or something like that, for sailing on the Great Lakes.

You might enjoy the following sea type tunes of his, many of them "beer swigging " ballads also:

1. Ballad of Yarmouth Castle (probably the 'in utero' Edmund Fitzgerald), on the album Sunday Concert. It's harder to find, but was also re-released as a CD recently.

2. Christian Island, from  Don Quixote CD.  There's a lyric in there that seems very a propos: "and when the gale comes up, I'll fill my cup, with the whiskey of the highlands"..

3. Ghosts of Cape Horn (from Dreamstreet Rose)

4. Triangle (from Shadows CD).

5. Marie Christine (from Back Here on Earth).
