OCEAN POSSE 🧭NOTICE OF A RALLY – UPDATES – AWARDS & PERKS

“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” 

—Theodore Roosevelt
 Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

NOTICE OF A RALLY

The
8th Ocean  Posse Rally is a group of over 300 pleasure craft which
travel the coastal waters of Mexico and Central America south to
the Panama Canal, and east through the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico to
California and the East Coast of the USA . In addition we are
establishing a route to and from Europe <->  Caribbean and
already have 60+ vessels underway in the South Pacific all the way to
New Zealand and Australia with a special focus on Fiji .
https://oceanposse.com/sign-up

The
goal of the Ocean Posse is to support the seasonal movement of vessels
with up to date local information, per-established contacts and
relationships with local marinas and agents, weather reporting and
forecasting, and enable ‘buddy boating’ through introductions between
vessels.

The
Ocean Posse vessels do not travel in a single convoy, they are
distributed along the route and travel at their own pace. The rally
operates a 24/7 chatroom, hosts a weekly all-hands conference call, and
disseminates information via weekly emails and emergency bulletins.

In
the last seven years, over 1,600 vessels with approximately 4200 crew
have participated. The average size is 48 feet. Most vessels are well
equipped ocean going pleasure craft with depth sounders, GPS, Radar,
AIS, EPIRB and/or PLB beacons, VHF radios, safety equipment, Starlink /
Satphones.

RESPLICE

RE-SPLICING HALYARDS

Cruising
offers so many takes on life.  Among them “Boatwork in beautiful
places” rings true time and time again aboard SV WHIRLWIND.
Granted this ‘grind’ is part of the fun of raising our sails,
putting miles beneath our keel, watching dolphins surf our bow, sharing
sundowners, and sailing for days and days to distant shores.

This
week Captain Mike set about to re-splice the portside Spinnaker halyard
that had chafed on our Pacific Crossing in May. Once we found the
trades en route to French Polynesia we had the opportunity to fly the
spinnaker for days on end before the conditions changed and a new sail
was required.   It was on one of these sail changes that we noticed
that the head of the halyard had been chafing on something at the top
of the mast.  While the cover was shot, the core was fine and we
had to put that halyard to rest until now.

Getting
geared up to Re-splice the halyard where it was damaged, Mike took the
opportunity to do a few upgrades that had been on his  ‘list for
sometime’.  We hadn’t had a shackle in at the head of the line.
We had been attaching the halyard with a bowline.
Additionally, he put a new eye splice in the bitter end.

11) RECENT ARTICLE FROM PULITZER CENTER OCEAN REPORTING NETWORK REVEALS HARSH REALITIES PLASTIC

 Traveling
the world by the ocean, plastic waste cannot be overlooked as a global
problem.  It is in the end of it’s ‘use’ when the global problem
plastic pollution becomes most obvious.  As ocean voyagers we see
Plastic bottles, wrappers, lines, containers, and shoes filling current
lines, passing through an anchorage or an estuary with the tide,
littering the high tide line from the beach into the trees, and burning
in thick black smoke from trash fires all over the world.  It is
most contemptible and disastrously true that many stunning beaches are
spoiled by plastic waste that comes from near and far.   Ideally,
all plastic is or could be recycled and neither the air quality or the
environment are harmed in the process.  However, in reality less
than 10% of plastic produced is recycled worldwide and plastic waste is
becoming a greater and greater threat to human health and the
environment.
