Clear sources and modest claims
We link to primary sources for technical definitions where available. Publication dates identify when an article appeared; they do not imply that local conditions or regulations have been checked for a particular voyage.
Images and examples
Our launch articles use AI-generated editorial illustrations. These depict fictional scenes and are labelled accordingly. Illustrative diary entries are examples, not accounts of trips taken by our editors. We use AI-assisted drafting and avoid invented credentials, testing claims or personal experiences.
Scope
Articles are general educational reading. Use current official charts, forecasts and notices, and appropriate instruction, when planning real activities on the water. We do not publish real-time tide tables or navigation instructions.
