Heave-Ho
Question Author
thank you
Iv'e got "Heave To", which I think is more of a sailor's cry.
Definitely "heave ho":
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/heave-ho

Heave to is more of an order that a captain would give to the crew - the sailors wouldn't cry "heave to" while they were heaving to...
heave-ho
sentence substitute
(Transport / Nautical Terms) a sailors' cry, as when hoisting anchor
I stand corrected!
I dont know why but this thread has made me titter.
Titter ye not, missus - nay, nay and thrice nay...
