- (nautical) The “trapped” condition a sailing ship finds itself in when the bow of the ship is headed into the wind and the ship has stalled and is unable to maneuver.
I was in Bandon Oregon looking at the giant Pacific Ocean. I thought about being stuck out in the center of the endless ocean, without the power to forge ahead. Just drifting about.
