A small set of working instruments for captains underway and at the planning table — the reference desk of trusted sources, a way to file what you see from the water, the fleet's recent reports, a float plan you can hand to shore, and the manuals and service stops you'll want along the route. The reference desk and the manuals & service directory are open today; the rest are in preparation.
250 sources for charts, weather, locks, safety, and route knowledge — each marked by who stands behind it and how to use it well. Official authorities lead; community and commercial tools are listed for what they're good at, never ranked or endorsed.
Send a short field note from the water — a lock delay, fresh shoaling, a fuel dock down. Reviewed by the Harbormaster before it's posted. One-way, no account, no comment threads.
What captains have reported lately, corridor by corridor — operator-reviewed and dated, never a free-for-all. Fresh notes surface first; older ones fade as conditions change.
Build a float plan in a minute and hand it to someone ashore. It stays on your device — no account, no tracking, nothing leaves your phone. Share the full plan privately, or a stripped "underway" note for friends.
Owner's manuals for the boats in the Vessel Atlas, and a directory of the service stops loopers actually use along the route — yards, mechanics, riggers, and parts.
