rock awash

Clarification: this term is used here as defined by NOAA and Bowditch, but this is not the same as used by the IHO, which reserves this term for rocks awash at tide height = 0. We address this is our new book Introduction to Electronic Chart Navigation.
121 Glossary tweak Add at the end of "inshore zone": Also called "inshore traffic zone."
122 11.1 2nd paragraph.

We refer to shorelines on the leeward side of the boat vs windward side, but this is not as clear as it should be, since it is easily confused with windward side of an island. The intention is as shown in this sketch.
