Tech/Engineering - Ships, Sailing, Maritime / Autobiography of sailing trip
Italian term or phrase: Ricontrollo i conti
The subject of this trip is frustrating that he has been travelling slower than he expected, and has also found his ship to be going backwards. Is "conti" literally accounts here? Or is this a navigational term for the figures used to steer the course?
