    the general leech of wakes

    Not sure if misspelling of “lack” or nautical terminology I’m unfamiliar with.

        Ah, good to know. (My confusion was genuine, BTW: I knew “leech” means the back edge of a fore-and-aft rigged sail, so it wouldn’t have surprised me if it also meant the back edge of a wake or something like that.)
