Now we're trying to link our compass below with our At The Helm Challenges with Pintle & Gudeon.

I love a good strategy game and if it's nautically-oriented, so much the better. Has anyone purchased or tested this game? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1069650/Ultimate_Admiral_Age_of_Sail/ The gaming company (Game Labs) is getting attention for both their Civil War and Revolutionary War series. You can find many good YouTub video channels on these games. Here's one on the basics of The Age of Sail.

Today we cover a cool set of nautical topics from the islands of Nevis and St. Barts, to the evolution of the torpedo, two naual terms, the Hornblower series by CS Forester, and more. 28 Min. 33 Sec.

Finally, we're getting the details on these exciting foilcraft!

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): 1. Be shipshape. Treat the crew with respect. 2. Salty humor is welcome. Personal attacks go overboard. 3. Share experience, not lectures. “Here’s what worked for me…” beats sermons. 4. No doxxing. Keep privacy and safety in mind—share only what you’re comfortable with. 5. Give credit. If you share someone’s photo, quote, or idea—cite the source. 6. Keep it nautical. (We’re here for sea-lore, makers, mariners, and stories.) 7. Help new shipmates. Everyone was new once. Welcome aboard — your crew and your port. — Phil Wilson, Founder
