The most expensive mistake in boating is buying a boat before you know what you are looking at. So I am learning first.

And since I am building this site with Claude anyway, I made learning part of it: the Library. Playful lessons for everything in boating. You label a boat, tie the knots, read the wind, and now you can even tune a radio and hear what a Mayday call sounds like.

You earn points and ranks along the way, from Deckhand up to Captain. I am a Deckhand too, so we start at the same place.

If you are also dreaming of the water, join the crew. It is free, and you do not have to be perfect. You just have to start somewhere.
