WELCOME ABOARD, SHIPMATE! — START HERE
From the Founder of Nautical Me! — a community of sea-lovers, storytellers, makers, and modern-day mariners.
Whether you’ve read every line of Hornblower…or you still replay Master and Commander at 2:00 AM just to hear the creak of the rigging…or you’re building a ship model and want to swap notes (and a cold beer) with folks who get it…
Welcome. You’ve found your port.
This isn’t a course. It’s a crew — a place to trade stories, share projects, plan charters, compare notes, laugh at the sea’s stubbornness, and celebrate the nautical life in all its forms.
⚓ Crew Code (Ship’s Articles):
- Be shipshape. Treat the crew with respect.
- Salty humor is welcome. Personal attacks go overboard.
- Share experience, not lectures. “Here’s what worked for me…” beats sermons.
- No doxxing. Keep privacy and safety in mind—share only what you’re comfortable with.
- Give credit. If you share someone’s photo, quote, or idea—cite the source.
- Keep it nautical. (We’re here for sea-lore, makers, mariners, and stories.)
- Help new shipmates. Everyone was new once.
Welcome aboard — your crew and your port.
