I am looking for navigational warnings data for my boat brain project and I came across the official webpage of the Spanish Armada. Good info's there. Especially the link to the "Portal i-avisos".

Nothing says 'standard time' like a Krupp gun pointed at your midday meeting. Synchronize watches... or else.

Cruisers rescuing cruisers
Three cheers for the crew of S/V Seamer who had been relaxing in New Zealand’s Bay of Islands after arriving from Fiji. When they heard that a fellow cruiser needed help they sailed 200nm to help. In mid November a 37’ French boat, S/V Tiboulen, lost its rudder on passage between Fiji and New Zealand with 390 miles to go.

I found my place for this winter. A bit earlier than planned, but that’s life, hey. Scoglitti, a small town on the south side of Sicily. Very cute and most important safe for our Cooee. The owners of the marina are very supportive and always have an eye out for their stuff and the boats.

To protect the ocean, we need one thing above all: data. But collecting this data, especially in remote ocean regions, is anything but easy. Many areas are still a blank spot on the scientific map. So the aim is to enable non-scientists to make ocean observations.

Almost 600 nm, what an experience and learning curve. I feel I added some barnacles to my back 😆.

Some gorgeous anchorages around Cannes. I am very delighted by French anchoring and boating. The most respectful I have seen in the Med.

The Story of the Wave: How the Moken Listened to the Sea When the tide pulled back from the shores of Thailand’s Surin Islands on the morning of December 26, 2004, tourists laughed and ran out to collect shells from the suddenly exposed seabed. For most, it was a curious novelty
