Windlaced - either a reference to a rigging form that would be configured to change the attitude of a sail in relation to wind strength and direction or a corruption of windlass the device used to configure the sails and rigging.
Willow figures often in mythology and folklore, the ancient greeks would place willow branches in the beds of infertile woman in an attempt to reverse the condition, here perhaps a reference to the sweetheart being left on shore.
Reeds and drums - not sure about the drums but willow reeds (branches) are associated with dreams which ties in with the soft sheets, not a nantucket whaler would possess sheets. Grief is also associated with the willow - reference again to Robin-Marie.
