When you are on a boat, what does it mean when the sign says "no wake"?

As the bow of the boat cuts through the water you can see how the wake cascades from the front on each side.  NO wake means to slow down enough there are no waves (wake) on each side.  This is usually done in an area where other boats sit and would be disturbed by a wake.

It means "No". Let it go. If you start picking at every word you will stir up problems.

"To be under the weather is to be unwell. This comes again from a maritime source. In the old days, when a sailor was unwell, he was sent down below to help his recovery, under the deck and away from the weather."

Nothing. It is a phonetic abbreviation. It means "to come" which is just what you said.

Sometimes, rocking the boat is the only way to get attention. Sometimes the boat needs to change course because it's heading for dangerous waters. \n\nOne analogy about stability doesn't meant that things are better when stable.

SOS does not actually mean save our souls or save our ship.  We were just joking about this at the office & I found the site below-lots of great info.\n\nAt the second Berlin Radiotelegraphic Conference 1906, the subject of a danger signal was again addressed. Considerable discussion ensued and finally SOS was adopted. The thinking was that three dots, three dashes and three dots could not be misinterpreted.  It was to be sent together as one string.\n\nwww.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/060199tip6.htm

Waterline refers to an imaginary line marking the level to which ship or boat submerges in the water. To an observer on the ship the water appears to rise or fall against the hull of the ship.\n\nMany factors determine the waterline. A heavy ship, or one heavily laden with cargo will submerge deeper in the water. Temperature will affect the level as warm water is less buoyant than cold water. Even the salinity of the water will affect the level because freshwater is less buoyant than salty seawater.\n\nIn sailing the length of the waterline can change as the boat heels and can dynamically impact the speed of the boat.\n\n\n\nMany commercial ships have a symbol called a Load line painted on each side of the ship. This symbol, also called a International load line or Plimsoll line, marks the level to which the ship can be safely loaded. As cargo is brought on board the ship submerges and the symbol dips farther into the water.\n\nBefore these symbols were made compulsory many ships were lost due to overloading. Sometimes ships were intentionally overloaded in the hope of collecting insurance money. Ships carrying emigrants from Europe to America were also lost. Politician Samuel Plimsoll advocated for the improved safety standards and in his honor the mark bears his name.\n\nThe letters on the Plimsoll line have the following meanings:\n\n    * TF - Tropical Fresh Water\n    * F - Fresh Water\n    * T - Tropical Sea Water\n    * S - Summer Sea Water\n    * W - Winter Sea Water\n    * WNA - Winter North Atlantic

It means you are slow to 'shoot the breeze'.  You don't have a lot of time (or interest) in 'smalltalk'.  You don't suffer fools and you don't talk just for the sake of hearing the sound of your own voice.  You may be apt to answer a question with a single word (or two at the most).

Simply comes from the military. It means 0 kills, meaning there have been no losses. Then it simply translated into "everything is alright".

All hands on deck on a ship means that there is some emergency and all members of a ship's crew are needed to avert disaster.  It has come to mean, everybody help with something.
