Sailing

Red buoys have even numbers and red lights; green buoys have odd numbers and green lights.

One long blast can mean one of many things:

1) I am turning to starboard

2) In a situation of restricted view (ie turning a blind corner on a river) it's a warning signal to warn other vessels of your presence

3) In fog it is a general fog signal for vessels over usually over 12meters underway (this is repeated every 2 minutes)

The sides of any ship are "the hull".

"Four-cornered".

Define left side of a ship? Left and right are the sides of the human body and you relate it to the body. The problem is that left and right change depending on which way you are facing.

If you are facing the front of the ship the port side is to your left and the starboard side is on your right. By using port and starboard, you are avoiding confusion when talking to other people.

The vertical post is the mast, and the horizontal post is the spar. Both are required.

Sloop

It should be in the closed or inboard tank (if fitted) position

At the marina, alongside the dock, in a slip.

A sail-robber? No, it's a MAST!

Left

Sail kind of to the side/diagonal of them.

The line that controls the jib is the jibsheet & the line that controls the mainsail is the mainsheet. Earings.

A power-driven vessel under way sounds one prolonged blast not less than every two minutes. However if it is less than 12meters in length it is not required to give any signal.

A Landing ship, an LCVP, an LCT, a Higgins Boat or an LCI.

Debarking from LA I'd probably start in Late Spring so it's not all light air sailing to first Pt. Conception (where it will pick up some) to San Franciso area (where it will pick up more). Ideally, I'd pass San Fran around early summer and hope for nice warm days, crisp evenings, and no serious tropical or arctic weather, even from afar. It'd be nice to make landfall in Seattle in July. This would allow some time to relax but still set a pace.

Do you mean the "ship's store"?

An AFT galley is a kitchen area located at the rear (aft) section of an aircraft. It is designed for in-flight meal preparation and service, equipped with ovens, refrigerators, and storage for food and beverages. The AFT galley is essential for providing catering services to passengers during flights, especially on long-haul routes. Its location allows for efficient service while minimizing disruption to the cabin area.

Regatta is an event not a colour

Rules of the road. Just as with cars, there are rules set up so that one person realizes they are in the wrong and can take corrective action. For example, with boats and cars, if you are backing up you have no rights and have to take the responsility to make sure there are no others in your path.

Interestingly, rule #1 is "Avoid collisions at all costs."So even if you are in the right as far as the rules of the road go, if you do nothing to avoid a collision, and a collision results, you can be held equally responsible for not following rule #1.

Verticals are masts and horizontals are either booms, spars, or yardarms.

Many people have sailed in a yacht around the world. The youngest was Robin Lee Graham, who sailed around the world in a sailboat at the age of 16. He took 5 years sailing around the world and even found and married his wife while on the trip. I believe he started his trip in 1968 and ended in 1973. If you are looking for non-stop sailing, there are races for solo non-stop circumnavigation. Circumnavigation is the sailor's term for "around the world". The first man to complete a solo circumnavigation was Joshua Slocum in 1898. There's even a Joshua Slocum Society for sailors who sail around the world.
