Welcome Aboard!

Welcome aboard nautical.social, the digital haven for everyone who feels the call of the open water. From weekend paddle-boarders, novice boaters, liveaboards, seasoned sailors, to old seafaring legends, we've dropped anchor here for you! This is your safe harbor in a much larger fediverse.

This Mastodon server is physically located in The Hague, Netherlands, though it is not limited to the English or Dutch language.

Here at nautical.social, we celebrate:

• Sharing safety and security information.
• The craft of boat building and design.
• Stories of adventure, from fabled krakens to discovering uncharted waters.
• The serene nights under a blanket of stars, rocked gently by ocean currents.
• Tips, hacks, and tech, from knot-tying to weather forecasting.
• A supportive, inclusive community that shares in both the calm and the storm.

All are welcome. 大家都欢迎。 सभी स्वागत हैं। Todos son bienvenidos. Tous sont les bienvenus. جميعهم مرحب بهم. সবাই স্বাগত। Все приветствуются. Todos são bem-vindos. سب خوش آمدید ہیں। ਸਭ ਸੁਆਗਤ ਹਨ। 皆さん、ようこそ。 Alle sind willkommen. Semua orang diterima. Wote wanakaribishwa. सर्व स्वागत आहे. అందరూ స్వాగతం.
