“The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, but with the people you meet on them”
– Amelia E. Barr
Ground your upcoming cruising plans by joining the Ocean Posse and save time, money, and reduce many other annoyances. Cruising information for your decision making without set schedules.
The 8th Ocean Posse Rally is a group of over 300 pleasure craft which travel in the Atlantic, Caribbean, Panama Canal and the Pacific. We are establishing a cruising route between Europe all the way to the South Pacific.
The goal of the Ocean Posse is to support the seasonal movement of vessels with up to date local information, pr-established contacts and relationships and discounts with local marinas and agents, weather reporting and forecasting and enable ‘buddy boating’ through introductions between vessels.
The Ocean Posse yachts 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 chat, hosts a weekly all-hands conference call, and disseminates information via weekly
emails and emergency bulletins.
In the last seven years, over 1,500 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, VHF radios, safety equipment, and Satphones.

Opinions are like ar$*(oles – everybody has one, and they all stink ….
GESTALT COMMUNICATIONS
Why use the GESTALT communications protocol ?
Everyone
who is a skipper, captain, admiral, crew or master of his or her ship
has a high level of authority, independence and leadership.
When
opinions come to the surface there is a natural instinct to doubt, feel
threatened, judge and to question “advice / opinions”.
As
an example and to make this point look at how many Social Media
postings, or comment sections on websites or even news sites
become a runaway freight train leading to huff and puff, fight club,
bruised egos and unanswered questions and arguments.
The Ocean Posse is about facts and experiences. Our conversations stay factual and civil.
Your experiences are important for the fleet and vessels will make decisions on your factual reports.
Even if you have made a mistake and are sharing that experience – that is valuable for the next mariner.
JUST THE FACTS PLEASE !
