Title
Online Cruising Guides And Sailing Blogs For The Cruising Community
Description
This sailing and cruising wiki gives sailors, cruisers, trawlers and boaters around the world a place to voice out and help cruisers in their wake is our main goal. By sharing up to date information and reviews on anchorages, and marinas around the world we are creating our own free, worldwide cruising guide and pilot!
By creating articles on a particular subject, boaters can create definitive articles about many helpful but overly discussed subjects that always seem to get lost in boating forums. There is no need to scan dozens of forums, or hundreds of cruising websites for the information you need (even though CaptainWiki has a search tool specifically built for that purpose too!)
History
While cruising the Caribbean on their ketch Valkyrie in September 2005, Ben and Christine were looking for safety information about Venezuela but could only find data 2 to 3 years old. Ben, a former San Francisco Computer Programmer, came up with the idea for an easy to edit Wiki-style website for cruisers to post or read about the latest attack reports. The idea quickly expanded from sharing security issues to creating a destination guide where cruisers could tell their fellow cruisers about their favorite hang out, share with them their favorite anchorage, give tips on maintenance, or blog stories about a particular place.
