Please help me spot serious mistakes:


- (On a sailing boat) She goes out of the below deck (??) and looks to (??)
the steering because she had heard some strange noises.

On a boat "below (deck)" is inside the boat underneath the main deck.
On a small sailboat it usually means in the cabin, or living quarters.

If you look to, or look at something you examine it closely to make sure it's OK. ( Especially the auto pilot on a small sailboat!)
