chi non è di guardia


Explanation:
off/on watch= quanti sulla nave stanno o meno di guardia (ad esmepio la notte quando non si è attraccati in porto).

Da un diario di bordo: "Still sailing with 11 knots of wind speed. Earlier in the night those off watch trying to sleep below got woken up because of the tacks".
