7 whistle for a wind
выжидать удобного случая; ≈ ждать у моря погоды [букв. стараться свистом вызывать ветер; выражение основано на старом морском суеверии]But there's no help for it till we know our men. Lay to, and whistle for a wind, that's my view. (R. L. Stevenson, ‘Treasure Island’, ch. XII) — Но делать нечего - сначала мы должны узнать, кто нам остался верен. Остановимся на этом плане и будем выжидать удобного случая. Таково мое мнение.
