โLife should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming โWow! What a Ride!โ

PredictWind, the leading provider of weather forecasting and routing services for sailors, has announced the launch of a new feature that will revolutionize the way sailors and yacht enthusiasts monitor ship and yacht movements around the world. The company’s new real-time satellite and terrestrial AIS display offers users the ability to view vessel positions and movements anywhere in the world over any satellite connection.
The AIS data is available on the PredictWind website, PredictWind App, and Offshore App, and provides a wealth of information for sailors, yacht enthusiasts, and maritime professionals. The Offshore App is the world’s first app to provide AIS data via satellite, allowing users to download vessel positions within a 300 Nm radius.
With the new feature update, users can search for vessels by name or MMSI number and add them to their favorites list, allowing for easy tracking of friends or vessels of interest. The real-time satellite AIS feature allows users to view any vessel anywhere in the world, while the terrestrial AIS provides land-based AIS position feeds.
The system identifies all vessel types and allows users to filter by vessel type, providing greater control over what types of vessels are displayed on the map. Additionally, users can view speed, direction, draught, destination, and ETA information for any vessel on the map.
PredictWind’s CEO, Jon Bilger, said, “We’re excited to launch this new feature, which will provide mariners with a comprehensive and accurate view of ship and yacht movements around the world. With real-time satellite AIS and terrestrial AIS, our users can access a wealth of information that will help them make more informed decisions about their sailing or boating plans and adjust accordingly wherever they are.”
PredictWind has also taken the integration of the DataHub with the AIS network even further. The DataHub collects AIS data from all surrounding vessels and transmits it back to the PredictWind servers via the existing satellite/cellular connection, improving the quality and safety of the global AIS network.
The AIS data feed can also be shared via wifi to compatible devices or apps on board, such as the Navionics Boating App, and recorded to the DataHub’s SD card. This creates an accurate log of all nearby vessel positions, which is crucial for an insurance claim in the event of a collision.
PredictWind’s CEO, Jon Bilger, said, “The integration of the DataHub into the AIS network will enhance the entire AIS network making the seas safer for all. The ability to share the data feed via wifi and record it to the DataHub’s SD card will also help sailors and maritime professionals in the event of an insurance claim.”
The new features are available now on the PredictWind App, PredictWind website, Offshore App. DataHub features require a DataHub. Users can sign up for a free version or purchase a subscription to access the full range of AIS features. For more information, please visit www.predictwind.com.
5) SUBMERGED ISLAND RE-DISCOVERED ๐๐๏ธ
OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA

About 200 years ago there were 11 islands in the Dry tortugas, now there are 6. Flying over them in 2016 marine archaeologist Joshua Marano noticed a strange pattern beneath the surface of the water. Time and investigation have led to the discovery of a submerged island. The side is about 70 miles west of Key West off the coast of Florida thought to have once been part of Civil War Era Fort Jefferson in the Dry tortugas. This discovery has been a great inspiration for maritime archaeologists prompting much investigation and hypotheses.
This image provided by the National Park Service shows an unsigned watercolor painting depicting a hospital and cemetery on an island in the Dry Tortugas.
One theory is that the island was like the watercolor above with a hospital and a cemetery.

Notice the color of the water due to the minerals.
When two non-colored waterbodies Rio Buenavista (Buenavista River) and Quebrada Agria (Sour Creek) meet and mix the colors are incredible..
SY ROCHAMBEAU AND SY SALACHIA went on a land trip in northern Costa Rica.
It was really cool to wake up each morning and hear monsoon-like rain. We also went on hikes and saw tiny frogs, volcanoes, lush trees with symbiotic relationships of other things growing on them, without killing the trees, and a variety of tropical flowers.

The Panama Posse is continuing to meet and discuss the importance of safety for foreign flagged vessels in Panama following the attacks this year in the Las Perlas Islands and in Portobello, Panama. These security forums are being held on a regular basis on several levels from the local level to higher governmental officials within Panama.
Unfortunately, while many people are involved and concerned, the recent attacks in Panama are still not resolved meaning the attackers are still out there.
Senan has increased their patrols and rotations.
The current safety recommendation is that the Perlas Islands are ‘CLOSED’.
If you do decide to go 1) stay in anchorages with other vessels 2) stand night watch 3) only anchor in areas which have VHF coverage and 4) cell # coverage ( dial 108 from a panama cell #) 5) take pictures of all fishing vessels in the area
The goal is the open these islands up again once the attackers have been found and are in custody. Only then vessels are safe to cruise in the Las Perlas. Recently, we were very encouraged to extend our discussions, most notably, with the US Coast Guard.
Thanks to a member of the Panama Posse with operational and professional ties to the US Coast Guard, the USCG has taken a keen interest in the threat to US flagged vessels in Pacific Panama.
EL NIรO
There is a 60% chance for a transition from ENSO-neutral to El Niรฑo during May-July 2023, and this will increase to about 70% in June-August and 80% between July and September, according to the Update, which is based on input from WMO Global Producing Centres of Long-Range Forecasts and expert assessment
During El Niรฑo years, the Atlantic Ocean tends to be cooler than normal, which can create a more stable atmosphere and increase wind shear, making it more difficult for hurricanes to form and intensify. Therefore, El Niรฑo years tend to have fewer and weaker hurricanes in the Atlantic basin.
During an El Niรฑo year, the sea surface temperatures in the eastern Pacific tend to be warmer than normal, which creates a more unstable atmosphere and decrease wind shear, making it easier for hurricanes to form and intensify.
As a result, El Niรฑo years tend to have more and stronger hurricanes in the eastern Pacific basin.
Sumidero Canyon Caรฑรณn del Sumidero is a deep natural canyon located just north of the city of Chiapa de Corzo in the state of Chiapas, in southern Mexico. The canyonโs creation began around the same time as the Grand Canyon in the U.S. state of Arizona, by a crack in the areaโs crust and subsequent erosion by the Grijalva River, which still runs through it.
Sumidero Canyon from the rim.
The canyon is surrounded by the Sumidero Canyon National Park, a federally protected natural area of Mexico which extends 53.000 acres.
At the north end of the canyon is the Chicoasรฉn Dam opened in 1980.
It’s artificial reservoir is one of several on the Grijalva River, which is important for water storage and the generation of hydroelectric power in the region.
