In Soundings:
A vessel is in soundings when she is in sufficiently shallow water for soundings to be made and used as an aid in the vessel's navigation.

sound, soundings
To measure either the depth of water under the boat using a depthsounder or lead line, or the amount of fuel or fresh water in a tank using a rod (sounding stick, dipstick). Soundings are depth measurements.
Length of sounding cable versus depth
The boat is estimated to have sunk in approximately 50 feet of water. If that is the case the length of sounding cable likely exceeded this depth.
Continuous sounding with any fog-signaling apparatus. Gun or other explosive signal fired at intervals of about a minute.

SOUNDING PIPE A vertical pipe in an oil or water tank, used to guide a sounding device when measuring the depth of liquid in the tank. Also called a Sounding Tube.
A boom yang, for example, may "lead to the cockpit" when pronounced "leed," the direction of a line; when pronounced "led," the weight at the end of a line used for taking soundings.
(b) a continuous sounding with any fog-signalling apparatus;
(c) rockets or shells, throwing red stars fired one at a time at short intervals;
(d) a signal made by radiotelegraphy or by any other signalling method consisting of the group . . . - - - .
as it is lowered, keeping it from falling on deck or overboard leading edge The forward part of a sail lead line A line marked off in fathoms and weighted at one end with a lead, used for measuring water depths--also called a sounding line.
Charts should indicate the type of bottom, and a sounding lead may be used to collect a sample from the bottom for analysis. Generally speaking, most anchors will hold well in sandy mud, mud and clay, or firm sand.
Used chiefly in measuring cables, cordage, and the depth of navigable water by soundings. (one fathom is 6 feet)
Foot - The lower edge of a sail
Forward - Toward the bow or front of the boat ...

2) Mayday call
3) Gun or explosive signal fired at intervals of about one minute.

In sounding when the boat is in motion, swing the lead round and heave it as far forward as you can.
Then, try to determine your location using all methods you can, including depth soundings (with a spinnaker pole or a lead line off the bow, stern or both.) Look at the state of the current wind or waves. How will they affect your recovery?
(e)(i) In a narrow channel or fairway when overtaking, the power-driven vessel intending to overtake another power-driven vessel shall indicate her intention by sounding the appropriate signal prescribed in Rule 34(c) and take steps to permit safe ...
Deep Unmarked soundings of the lead line.
Dolphin A built pile structure for mooring in harbor.
Downhaul Rope or tackle used to haul down sail or yard.
Important aspects are longitude and latitude, soundings and bottom characteristics, compass directions, and distance scales. It is important to understand chart basics when learning to sail in unfamiliar waters.
Left. The term "Port" was used for helm commands to eliminate confusion with the similar-sounding "starboard". Eventually, the term "larboard" was completely eliminated.

Trends come and go, usually fueled by the latest racing handicap system, but Bob's IPs stick to the formula that has made them a resounding success.
Aids such as radar, echo-sounding and autopilot are common. This means that the auxiliary engine now also performs the vital function of powering an alternator to provide electrical power and to recharge the yacht's batteries.
By the time you're heading into port at Montevideo, you'll be looking at scales of 1:10,000 or even smaller-close enough to give you soundings demonstrating the best approach to the channel into the harbor, and even showing the docks in easy detail.
