Here's an animation of pass the ocean (sometimes called pass thru to
an (ocean) wave) from a square dance club, since it's a move borrowed
from square dancing:

At the end of the A2 you are on the side of the set with your N in standard
"Gents on the left, Ladies on the right" orientation. G is on the opposite
side from where they started the dance, L are on their home side.

B1 starts with a pass the ocean (where Gs essentially just walk across the
set and then turn to their right 1/4. At the same time L Allem. Lt. 1/2 to
cross set and give Rt. to their same N to form a short wave across with L
still holding Lt. in the center). Wave balance. (So everyone is now facing
direction of progression up/down at this point, opposite direction of their
current Ns.)

All walk forward to new short wave across in same orientation (so Ps travel
together but join wave with new Ns in their Rt. hand, new Ls holding Lt.
hands). Wave balance before starting the B2.

I suggest fwd & back balances to use the momentum to help timing. Just my
opinion.

This looks like a very nice dance.  I'm not sure I'm picturing correctly
what happens in B1 part - is anyone able & willing to describe this in
slightly more detail?

The author would be me, Don! Except that for the B2, the original  
dance has the women do an allemande left just 1/2, then a long Partner  
swing. Certainly the allemande left 1 and 1/2 also works!

warmly, Linda
