Trade wind
Winds in certain areas known for their consistent strength and direction. Trade winds are named because of their reliability, allowing for planned voyages along the routes favored by those winds.

Trade Wind: Northeast and southeast winds in the Atlantic blowing continually toward the equator. Named after the traditional trading ships, which sailed a course using these winds to their advantage.

The southeast trade wind was warm and steady, but it hardly caused a ripple on the surface of the well-protected turquoise shallows.

I don't care what anybody says, like: "Chartering/sailing in the Abacos is easy, smooth protected waters, caressing trade winds, island-hopping by visual navigation...bla bla bla..." ...

The area of calm which lies inside the trade winds near the equator. To be ‘in the doldrums' is to have a sense of depression or be in a period of inactivity. The doldrums are regions near the Equator where ships are likely to be becalmed.

Some of that air returns to the doldrums through the trade winds. This process can lead to light or variable winds and more severe weather, in the form of squalls, thunderstorms and hurricanes.

Doldrums - The area of calm which lies inside the trade winds near the equator.
Dolphin - A mooring buoy or spar. A group of piles driven close together and bound with wire cables into a single structure.
