I do apologize, your flag should gave me a hint that you are a native speaker
Nautical terms are very weird OP. It's like a whole different language within the English language.
If you know what all the other words mean then it's obvious. Context clues, OP

There was a survivor story from this where a family was trapped on the wall trying to get across a hallway that was now a vertical drop (ship was on its side). The parents and sister were too unathletic to jump across so they helped the son jump the chasm. Only he survivoed
I think it means drifting towards one side.
Boat words are weird tho senpai
