piloting (US) or pilotage (Europe) Explanation: The pilot is a person responsible for safe navigation of a ship, possessing local knowledge of coastal waters. Usually licensed by public authority (in the United States, by the U.S. Coast Guard), he is taken on board to conduct a ship to or from port.

to keep watch; sailor on duty Explanation: Or to be on watch. I think it's "vachta", or the concrete sailor with this duty. |

watch Explanation: Казва се вахтсман, но вахтсманство не съм чувала. Предполагам, че е най-добре да остане wachtsman, ако не ме лъже немският правопис, проверете го. Думата е немска и идеята пак е тази - оня, който наблюдава. Напълно съгласна с мнението на AmusedNath Казва се също и keeping the watch, so saylor on duty or who keeps the watch На немски било wachschiht, което е "смяна или дежурство на вахта" вахта ж Wache f c; Schicht f c (смяна) стоя на вахта — Wache stehen, също Успех |
