The Open Ocean Wiki is a treasury for those who hear the call of the sea—a guide to living wisely, boldly, and sustainably upon the waves. Within these pages, you will find the tools and knowledge to navigate distant horizons, the wisdom to mend what is broken, and the spirit to embrace the sailor's timeless creed: self-reliance. From the art of celestial navigation to the craft of sustainable living, this wiki is both a practical manual and a philosophical companion. For the sailor, the dreamer, and the steward of the oceans, it is an invitation to adventure, discovery, and harmony with the boundless blue.
