What is the bug?

Your anchor is deployed so you aren't lowering any distance on the brigantine.

A Navigator can "turn wheel ship" repeatedly to speed up the process (but again, your anchor is deployed).

The bug is that I'm both not moving and navigating the waters

If you're a navigator it's not a bug. I explained what's happening.

Yeah, to navigate a ship is to be actually moving. The anchor prevents that. The two are mutually exclusive. Thanks for your explanations, but they're only correct if you ignore what words mean.

And that is what I am explaining to you. The difference between the transitive and intransitive definition of 'to navigate' according to the OED, the people who document English for the country that invented it. Someone call Susie Dent!

Thanks for your explanations.

>> ...according to the OED...

I'm not sure that the Oregon Employment Department is considered much of an authority on these matters...
