The Tucker Thompson


A hypnotic sea jig which pairs well with the previously posted tune ‘Choppy Waters’.

The tune is dedicated to Russell Harris, who co-built and once owned the magnificent tall ship R. Tucker Thompson, a boat my wife worked on in the early 2000’s.

The Tucker Thompson is still going strong as a tourism boat in the beautiful Bay of Islands in New Zealand. Russell took me and Celia out on it one day a few years ago, such a great experience to be out on the ocean on a ship in full sail experiencing the rolling wave of the sea.
