What does five short blasts on a horn mean?

I intend to pass you on my port (left) side.It means I intend to LEAVE you on my port side. That means you will be overtaking the vessel you are approaching (which is the stand on vessel and has the right away) and leaving it on YOUR port side. Simply put you are over taking the vessel and maneuvering to your right. If you are passing from behind and the other vessel is in agreement they will sound the same sound, one short blast. To pass on the opposite side leaving them on your starboard side then you will sound two short blasts. If in agreement you will hear two short blasts in return.
