I’m here to talk ship. ⛵️🚢⛴🛳 If you enjoy maritime, this is for you.

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

Everyone, I have something to share. I am a non-binary, legally blind sailor! Since most boaters I know are generations older, I tend to leave my gender identity on land. You all seem like excepting people though, so I’m finally sharing. #LGBTQ #nonbinary 🏳️‍🌈

Hey guys! Just wanted to give a heads up that I plan on deleting this app. Don’t really use it anymore, and it’s kind of a mess now since the new boss took control. Here’s my Tik Tok if any of you wanna keep in touch. Happy sailing!

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

@sailorshinde Sail by. I can wave at you from the ship. ☺️

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

I just wanted to share that I’ll be passing through 2 of my fellow sailors home ports later this summer. Ramesh and @sailorshinde , mom and I are cruising to Alaska. We leave from Seattle Aug 17, and stop in Victoria Canida Aug 23. #cruise #ship #sailor

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

Ahoy everyone! I’m thinking about starting a room on Clubhouse. Just wanna check in, see how life is going. Come through and chat if you have some time. #sailing #cetchup #chat

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

California sailors! I hope you’re holding up alright up there. If you have the means to do so, please, use your boats to assist those trapped by flood water. Thinking about all my west coast Mariners, stay safe. #weather #sailing #flooding

Chicago boat show January 11th through 15th. Anyone wanna come look at yachts with me? #boats #boating #yachts #boatshow

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

@brianfpeebles It already exists. It’s up, I just don’t have much content on it yet.

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

Well, this is it. Since I think the house of cards that is Twitter is falling, this is my last tweet. TheBlindSailor is abandoning ship. Keep an eye out for my YouTube channal, Sailing Blind. Keep racing friends. ☺️ #RIPTwitter #bonvoage #sailing

As they race across the world, teams gather data about the impact of #climatechange on the ocean, which is analysed by leading science bodies and feeds into reports about the state of the planet that are used to inform crucial decisions on the climate.

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

Since it looks like this app is on its last legs, I have a question. Should The Blind Sailor switch to Tik Tok, or Youtube? #sailing #sailor

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

I hope any freighters on Lake Michigan are doing alright. Theres a november wich blowing today.

Wind gusting at 55 nots. Waves reaching 26ft at times.

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

Last night, I added up all my sea time hours over the last 4 years. Figured I’d share, in case anyone is looking for crew ATM.

After 4 full seasons, I currently have 228 hours on the water, and 39 hours of classroom work. That includes all lessons, races and cruises.

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

If anyone wants to get in on this with me, it starts at 9PM eastern, 8PM central. #RealLoveBoat #cruise #cruising #realityTV

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

Hello fellow sailors! Tonight, a new show is premiering on #CBS. It’s called The Real Love Boat. Now, yes it does just look like the Love Island on a cruise ship, but I’ll watch anything boating related.

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

@edits841 Just me tracking the in coming storm. Several of my fellow sailors are based there, so I’m concerned.

[TheBlindSailor @sailor_blind]

Question, does anyone in Florida listen to the NOAA radio broadcasts? Because, if they did, I’m positive that more people would have gotten the hell out of there. Fl sailors I’m tracking for you. #Weather #HurricaneIan

Rivers aren't just on land - there are atmospheric rivers, too. They are part of the Earth's ocean water cycle, and are tied closely to both water supply and flood risks. One of the most well-known is the pineapple express:
