Here's a simple one. If a boat is made fast to the bottom with a single anchor, it is considered "anchored". What is it considered if it is using two anchors???

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

He is still attached to the bottom and is "Anchored" and not underway. But I believe that the term changes to that he is moored. Especially if he uses a stream moor with an anchor out fore & aft.
You can List or Heel a vessel but, what is happening if you LADE a vessel??

If you hear someone say "six foot seas", how does that differ from him saying "six foot swells", when describing the sea state??

Seas are commonly considered wind-driven waves but may, in an abbreviated weather report, refer to the combination of sea and swell. Swells are seas produced by wind not at the vessel's location. Seas and swell often come from different directions although, when they come from the same direction, they can make for a particularly nasty ride.
What is an anti-cyclone and where do they occur?

Anti-cyclone, an area of high barometric pressure around which the wind circulates in a clockwise direction in the northern hemisphere and counter clockwise in the southern hemsphere. A slow moving fair weather system.
What is the difference between a Barque and a Barquentine??

Sorry Hartley Brigs are the two masted ships.
A Barque is three or more masts the fore & main masts are square rigged and the mizzen is Fore & aft.
A Barquentine has only the fore mast square rigged and all others are fore & aft.
What is a Snow??
