As we were easting off the rope the sound of a paddle was heard up the stream, and we accordingly kept on. |
The vessel was prematurely brought on to a course for the home marina without having made sufficient easting to clear the eastern extension of the Outer Harbour East Headland. |
But such a calculation does not take into consideration the easting or westing of the ship itself. |
At this time we began to prepare for the heavy weather of our easting, as the run across the Indian Ocean is called. |
My experience in running down the easting has always been the same and I have made the trip a number of times. |
That coming from the poles will appear to have easting in them, and those going towards the poles westing. |
