HOMOPHONES AND HOMOGRAPHS

The verses below can be answered by homophones and homographs that have some association with the ocean or beach.

1)
A bucket made for clams or sand;
A shade of white - not color - just bland.

2)
It's good, it's great, all right, okay,
A billowing wave - up, up, and away.

3)
To stop from entry, a sandy band,
A test for lawyers, a shoal or strand.

4)
It's water rushing onto shore,
Or back into its ocean home;
A knot that's sure,
Or a score that's even.

5)
An equal, or a noble one;
A dock that into the sea does run.

6)
A swell unfurls,
My hand says hi;
To ignore a rule,
And let you go by.
