Transcription Notes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacking_(sailing)
Not a sailor, but could find no such sailing term as "dicking." If you Google it you get "docking."
The handwriting doesn't look like an "o" so I have reopened it so volunpeers can give this another look. -@raferrante.
If you look at the bottom caption, you'll see definite a's in the word "against" and then compare it to the first line. To me it looks like "Rucking". Rucking is a word that comes from Middle English and can mean a heap of things. In this case, a heap of boats or ships or schooners? We need more translators opinions please. c.regimbal
