NOTICE OF A RALLY

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  routes 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 .

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.

7) GOOD NAUTICAL  

GOOD NAUTICAL: BAIE MARQUISIENNE
08° 54.8555’ S  140° 13.4389’ W

Baie
Marquesienne is on the western facing side of the island of Nuku Hiva.
The Trade Winds generally blow from the East or SE; the swell is
similar so this anchorage is generally in the lee of the island making
the anchorage very calm and surprisingly dry.  Since the water is
calm, the clarity is pretty good too and there is a nice spot to snorkel
on the N side of the anchorage.  I saw sharks, dolphins, and lots
of very colorful fish among large boulders and small bits of coral here
and there.  The bay is surrounded by rocky hillsides that appear to
be dry with patches of green vegetation where wild goats roam and bleat
all day long.  A valley winds up into a steep canyon.

The
head of the bay is a rather steep too so landing is not really an
option.  We have four people onboard and were fortunate to have two
that wanted to stay onboard and two that wanted to explore.  So,
we got dropped off on the beach, brought a radio, some water, and headed
off into the wild.  There is no marked trail to follow but there
are waterways (some dry, some running, some rushing) that we followed up
and up and up…until we could not go up any more.  As we travelled
up the valley we found an oasis and a waterfall, wild pigs and goats,
many different flowering trees and plenty of shade to stay cool.

20) NATURE IN THE SEA OF CORTEZ

Hurricane Beryl (/ˈbɛr.əl/) was a deadly and destructive Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that impacted parts of the Caribbean, the Yucatán Peninsula, and the Gulf Coast of the United States in late June and early July 2024. It was the earliest-forming Category 5 hurricane on record and the second such storm in the month of July, the other being 2005's Hurricane Emily. Beryl was also the strongest hurricane to develop within the Main Development Region (MDR) of the Atlantic before the month of July. The second named storm, first hurricane, and first major hurricane[nb 1] of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, Beryl broke many meteorological records for the months of June and July, primarily for its unusual location, intensity, and longevity.
