We’ve added a new resource to the library to support you with your ocean adventures!

You’ve found a boat to sail offshore, or maybe even an ocean. Congratulations! (Or if nothere’s a resource to get started on finding sailboat rides and here is a blog on how Ocean Nomads can help you with that) You must be thrilled and excited. You are one step closer to making the sailing dream a reality.

Huge part of all the excitement is in jumping into the unknown, letting it all happen, and in the exploration. That said, a huge part of having a pleasant, safe and most meaningful offshore sailing experience is in the preparation. Sailing offshore is quite something. This resource presents some things to consider for crewmembers before sailing away. Perhaps it has some takeaways for captains too. Feel free to add your tips and suggestions! We can learn from each other.
