Right arm downward, left arm repeatedly moved upward-backward. Speed of arm movement indicates rate of turn.

 (b) Turn to your right
Left arm downward, right arm repeatedly moved upward-backward. Speed of arm movement indicates rate of turn.

13. Move back
Arms by sides, palms facing forward, swept forward and upward repeatedly to shoulder height.

For tail to starboard: point left arm down, and right arm brought from overhead, vertical position to horizontal forward position, repeating right arm movement.
For tail to port: point right arm down, and left arm brought from overhead, vertical position to
