NOTICE OF A RALLY
ย 

OCEAN POSSE AHOY
ย  JOIN THE OCEAN POSSEย 

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 ย 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 โ€˜buddy boatingโ€™ 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.ย 
Most vessels are well equipped ocean going pleasure craft with depth sounders, GPS, Radar, AIS, EPIRB, VHF radios, safety equipment, and Satphones.ย

GESTALT

Opinions are like ar$*(oles - everybody has one, and they all stink ....ย 

GESTALT COMMUNICATIONS

Why use the GESTALT communications protocol ย ?

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 โ€œadvice / opinionsโ€.

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 ย vessels ย will make decisions on your factual reports.

Even if you have made a mistake and are sharing that experience โ€“ that is valuable for the next mariner.

JUST THE FACTS PLEASE !

13) MARINERS HAVE BEEN USING THE GULF STREAMย 
FOR CENTURIESย 

GULFSTREAM

GULF STREAMย 

Historical Use by the Spanish Treasure Fleet

ย Homeward Bound from the Americas:


The Spanish fleet, during the Age of Exploration,
particularly in the 16th and 17th centuries, relied heavily on the Gulf
Stream to sail from the New World (the Americas) back to Europe. After
collecting goods, especially from the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico,
the Spanish galleons would navigate northward along the coast of
Florida.


Once they reached the vicinity of the present-day
Florida Keys, they would turn eastward into the Gulf Stream. The
current, which flows northeastward from the Gulf of Mexico across the
Atlantic, would provide a significant boost in speed, helping the
heavily laden ships make the long journey back to Spain more quickly and
efficiently.

ย  ย  Speed and Safety:


The Gulf Stream allowed the Spanish fleet to
increase their average speed by several knots, reducing the overall time
at sea. This was crucial not only for the safety of the crew but also
for the preservation of perishable goods like foodstuffs and other
valuable commodities.


Additionally, the route via the Gulf Stream was
relatively safe from the deadly doldrums of the equatorial Atlantic,
which could trap ships in windless areas for days or weeks, leading to
shortages of food and water.

ย  ย  Strategic Naval Route:


The Spanish used their knowledge of the Gulf
Stream as a strategic advantage in naval warfare. By understanding this
current, they could predict the movements of their fleet and enemies,
plan naval engagements, and protect their treasure-laden galleons from
pirates and privateers.

The worldโ€™s most advanced current models. PredictCurrent is the worldโ€™s most comprehensive high resolution tidal currents model.

Modern Use of The Gulf Stream by Sailors

ย  ย ย Optimizing Sailing Routes:


Modern sailors, whether on recreational voyages or
racing yachts, use the Gulf Stream to optimize their routes across the
Atlantic. Advanced navigation tools, such as GPS and weather routing
software, allow sailors to plot courses that maximize the benefits of
the current especially with the new Predict Wind Models .


By entering the Gulf Stream at the right location
and angle, sailors can significantly reduce their passage time across
the Atlantic, just as the Spanish fleet did centuries ago. This is
particularly useful for transatlantic crossings from the Caribbean or
the southeastern United States to Europe.

ย  ย ย Weather and Climate Considerations:


Unlike the Spanish fleet, modern sailors have
access to detailed weather forecasts, which allow them to use the Gulf
Stream more effectively. For example, they can avoid the dangers of
tropical storms or hurricanes, which are common in the regions where the
Gulf Stream flows.


Additionally, modern sailors can monitor water
temperatures and the strength of the current in real-time, allowing them
to make adjustments to their course as needed to take full advantage of
the Gulf Streamโ€™s power.

Hurricane Beryl (/หˆbษ›r.ษ™l/) was a deadly and destructive Category 5 Atlantic hurricane that impacted parts of the Caribbean, the Yucatรกn 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.
