<HTML>Hi Hank,
I hope you understand french langage.
\"heave to\" means \"mettre à la cape\" that is to say, put the bow in 10 degres in the wind and the waves in a storm, slow ahead, to weather it. Main sails down and jibs against wind.
\"trice up\" that mean \"laisse courir\" or don\'t touch any thing in this moment.
In french navy the expression is \"lève rames\"
So \"heave to and trice up\" means don\'t compel yourself.
Regard\'s</HTML>
