    — I would however beg to qualify this observation to a slight extent by remarking, that the nearer a vessel is anchored to the beach, she approaches the influence of the counter surf from the shore, and to this circumstance may be attributed a greater and more sudden jerk than the ship would receive by being removed from its scope, and therefore any ship anchoring in the Bay with bad and insufficient ground tackle is liable to be driven ashore: the small extent of this bay obliging vessels to come within this influence, it is therefore of paramount importance that vessels should be well found.
动词 v.
  1. To sneak unsupervised food from a table or kitchen counter. US
    — With nothing to cause temptation, there will be no reason for him to counter surf other than to grab your attention.
