I don’t understand a word, but I like it because it’s pretty understandable.  Some explanations:

  • In the beginning, the Cap 11, refer to winds of Force 11, which is when  action big ships should take, the Cap 6 is for smaller boats.
  • The depiction with the forward hatch is to make sure you have all hatches and doors secured.
