Terminology Confusion



I've been talking and talking with a colleague in sufficient circles to
completely confuse myself...

If I have a closed container, with gas at some pressure and temperature,
and a pool of water at the bottom, I eventually reach an equilibrium state
wherein the vapor leaving the water is the same as the vapor entering the
water.

My confusion: Is the gas above the water saturated with water vapor?
