Looks like you win that bet....

Straight from Rick's Website:

Night Sail
By Rick Mohr; April 1, 2006
Contra, Becket
Level: Easy/Intermediate
A1: 	Women chain (8)
Circle right (8)
A2: 	/(With next couple)/ Circle left (8)
Dosido that new neighbor (8)
/(Join hands in a wave of four--neighbors join right; women join left)/
B1: 	Balance the wave (4)
3/4 Hey /(neighbors pass right shoulders to start)/ (12)
B2: 	Gypsy partner (8)
Swing partner (8)

Nightingale <http://www.nightingalevt.org> plays a galvinizing contra 
arrangement of the Québecois song /Nous Allons à une Fête/, with Keith 
Murphy singing once the pesky caller quiets down. It has a killer steady 
drive building through the A's culminating in a full stop, which is 
wildly rewarding when matched with a balance on the B1 as the music 
zings back in. After an unsuccessful search for the perfect companion 
dance I wrote this one, and the combination is rather thrilling. Of 
course one isn't always so fortunate to have Nightingale playing, but 
the dance can be a decent thrill on its own.

Encourage the women to step out strongly and lead the transition from 
courtesy turn to circle right in the A1. Then encourage the men to keep 
eye contact with their partners as (without breaking stride) everyone 
turns to circle left with new neighbors in the A2. This three-figure 
sequence is stolen from Gene Hubert's dance "Mama Lou's Reel", though it 
feels fairly different here.

Dedicated to Keith, Becky, and Jeremiah in honor of many stellar, 
sailing nights of dance music. You can hear Keith sing the song on his 
fine album Bound for Canaan 
<http://www.blackislemusic.com/cds/boundforcanaan.htm>.

Thanks to Lisa Sieverts for pointing out that this dance works great for 
beginners.
