If you'd love to keep up correspondence with someone who shares your
interests, ashore or aboard another yacht, use this page to look for someone who'd love to keep in touch with
you!
For a single-hander or couple with no easy way of keeping in contact with family or ties
ashore, it might be comforting to know that someone is keeping track of your
voyages. That person could agree to alert the authorities if you have not arrived somewhere
and contacted them within an agreed amount of time after your ETA.
For that person ashore it might be interesting to hear all about the adventures of the
voyager.
Perhaps the owner of a similar boat to yours would be interested to compare
notes on performance on different types of passage…
Students might like to stay in touch with each other and exchange practical geography and other subjects encountered on a
voyage,
or news of life in a particular town or country.
Once you have established communications, you might like to use our
Keeping Track facility to stay in touch.
We know of one person who was hunting around on the Internet for some
piece of information, or other, and found himself making contact with a
very helpful man, who e-mailed him back with the information he wanted
within half an hour of being asked for it. They sent e-mails back and
forth and, before long, it emerged that this helpful fellow had, in fact,
only been helping with e-mail enquiries for a few days, while
his brother-in law was in hospital for a minor operation. He didn't have a
job and was unlikely to get one, because of the difficulty of getting employment
within reach of home when you have no legs.
Their friendship has been going strong for a couple of years now, although
they've never met, being several thousand miles apart, and the amount of
helpful information this gentleman has tracked down for our acquaintance
is, apparently, phenomenal. He says he is glad to have some concrete
mission when he heads out into the Web, rather than just browsing around
as he used to. We'd certainly be happy to make contact
with such a helpful person! Perhaps you know someone who would like to
volunteer to get involved with the background work involved in keeping MarineZine's readers informed about
who, and what, in the marine world, is
on the web. A website reviewer would be great!
In the meantime, if you haven't already tried it, we
