When the starting formation is other than Facing Lines,
don't necessarily expect to end facing someone at the
completion of the call (i.e., the ending formation could be
T-Bone). EN: 160
Normally Load The Boat is done without touching hands.
However, when learning the call or dancing with inexperienced dancers,
it often helps if the Centers touch hands after each
part, especially after the Face Out. EN: 180
Hint for the Centers: After the Face Out, lightly touch hands with your new Partner
(this makes your new partner aware of you and helps to orient them!)
before doing the Partner Trade. EN: 200
Load The Boat, Centers To A Wave:
Load The Boat, but Centers go 7/8 (i.e., Pass Thru, Face Out, Partner Trade, and
1/2 Pass Thru (i.e., Step To A Wave)). EN: 210
Do the anything call; Finish Load The Boat (i.e., do the last 3/4
of Load The Boat: Centers Face Out, Partner Trade, and Pass Thru as the
Ends Pass 2 dancers right-shoulders and Face In). EN: 358
