[black][size 3]When I learned to sail (sailing vessels) many years ago, we called that technique "Heaving to" or balancing the sail with the rudder so as to maintain a stationary position and make no headway.[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]I guess "keeping station" would be the motorized vessel's version of the same thing - yes ?[/size][/black]
