I would not fancy (O14-20) landing in port during a (P14-20) monsoon after finishing off a (M20-O20) keg of rum. (assuming I could still walk.)

N12 down TE + O13 across, reversed DEUM

From The Sailor's Word-Book

If you don't get the (m01-4) trim right on your model (L14-17) boat when you take it out on the (N01-4) lake , you could end up with it in a (L09-11) yaw.
