What does REEFY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
nautical
Full of reefs, or resembling a reef; used of coastal waters broken up by ridges of rock or coral.
Sailors call a stretch of coast reefy when submerged ridges of rock or coral lie close enough to the surface to threaten a hull, forcing ships to slow down or find a marked channel. Charts and pilot books use the word as a quick warning to mariners planning a route through such waters. A reefy shoreline can also be a diver's paradise, since reefs shelter fish and coral life even as they endanger boats.
How REEFY is used
Nautical, used mainly in sailing directions and descriptions of coastal waters.
- The pilot book warned of a reefy stretch just north of the harbour.
