Steve Neal of noforeignlands.com
Hi Franz,
I had the chance to interview Steve Neal, the creator of a web application noforeignlands.com which I started using last year when it was launched to a few people at MdR, it is now available to all and think it is useful to anyone wanting to sail or sailing in the Med.
Steve’s description of the site is:
Around this time last year I created a web site for the liveaboard sailors, wintering in Marina di Ragusa. It provided vessel tracking for our boats, on an interactive map which allowed us to stay in touch throughout the summer season, sharing our whereabouts and the details of places we’d found along the way.
It turned out to be a very popular tool so, based upon feedback from the sailors here at our marina this winter, we’ve added a host of new features to the site, and hundreds of new places of interest to the map.
Please take a look at www.noforeignland.com to find out more. It’s completely free to use, and we’re now inviting all sailors to register, link up with friends and contribute their knowledge to the map.
We discuss and announce updates to the site in our Facebook group: NOFOREIGNLAND.
Fair winds.

In a previous podcast I talk about https://maritimedocumentation.us/ which is a scam to dupe you into paying about 3 times the cost to renew your coast guard documentation. Here are the details to this company Be aware and don’t get sucked in like I was. If you were make the proper complaints to its ISP godaddy and the federal trade commission https://www.ftc.gov/
Be sure you listen to that episode here is the link Maritimeducumentation.us scam
