Summary
When you’ve arrived at a new anchorage, how do you figure out how to find necessities? Especially if you’re out of range of The Boat Galley cruising guides? After all, there are places where cruising guides don’t exist. Luckily I have a great resource to share.
Cruising is more than dolphins and beautiful sunsets. Sometimes, you gotta get stuff done, like buying groceries or diesel. Or maybe you’re just craving a restaurant meal or want a fun day off the boat.
You have a few options for finding information. You can read guides and hope the information isn’t out of date. You can review Google Maps. You can even dinghy around to other boaters and ask. They’re all helpful resources. And the last might even introduce you to a new friend.
We rely on the app NoForeignLand.com. No information is hidden behind a paywall. There are no pop-up ads. You can support them on Patreon. But they don’t sell user’s information. Social features include tracking other boats. Information is provided by cruisers for cruisers.
One feature even allows you to call for information from others directly on the app. Created by cruisers for cruisers, the information is relevant to our needs. I highly recommend it, no matter where you’re traveling.
