Narrow water passages that connect two larger bodies of water.
Sailors need to be careful when navigating through straights.
Examples:
The ship sailed through the straights to reach the open sea.
The straights can be dangerous for small boats.
We need to cross the straights to get to the other side.
The straights are like a narrow hallway for the water.
The straights are so narrow, it's like the water is in a tunnel.
The straights are like a pinch in the big water.
