Against The Ocean, Against The Will Of The People: You Will Survive!

Posted by Harry Voges on March 20th, 2018

What you have today, will be loaded on the ship and this journey will define your life from here on. Today, you will script a new history, today you will hit a new low (depths, I mean), today you will boast about your skills in front of the setting sun and turn compass.

Your today, is tomorrow of so many people, of what you have, of what you’ve achieved, of what you’re going to build, so many memories, so many tales of success, so many stories. Without love and prayers, nothing is right, with love and feeling, everything looks so purposefully right!

When the mountains were yearning, when the Sea was thirsty, when the Kraken was awakened, you were fulfilling the job for the people. You were busy exploring uncharted territories, you were busy saving people from the fury of nature, you were busy touching so many cultures and lives altogether.

Doesn’t it fascinate you to be on the ship for the rest of your days? Don’t you think human contact should be kept at its lower peak? Don’t you feel the Sea tells you something? Ocean speaks with its ecosystem of dolphins, with its shining pearls, with its challenging high tides, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, and sometimes you learn. With the appropriate and precise nautical navigation tools, you will be safe without messing with international laws and fragile regulations, anymore.

You’ll be in your zone even when you aren’t, you’ll be following the guidelines even when you’re free, you’ll be an entity lost in the ocean, even when you’re on your proper track towards your destination. As per the rulebook of CFR 40, set by National Geospatial Agency (NGA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO), the Ocean has several guidelines that all Sea vessels must adhere to, otherwise be ready for the punishment. The nautical charts must meet all the regulations set in SOLAS Chapter 5, Article 2.2, if ignored, it can lead to disastrous developments, whose reversal, is yet to be found!

The nautical charts primarily depict the alignment of shoreline, seafloor and the sea borders. No matter, the captains now usually prefer digital charts over nautical charts, and maritime books, the significance, and accuracy of the nautical chart are still kept in the highest regards. Plan to never set foot on the land again, take your little black book and swipe off the world right below your feet.
