ON Member Bulletin

Hello There!

June is here, and for many of us that means summer is just around the corner. I've always loved this time of year—the longer days seem to make it easier to say yes to getting outside, trying something new, and spending time with good people or on solo adventures.

My summer started with a wonderful trip through the countryside and mountains of northern Spain and France. It was a much-needed chance to slow down, unplug a bit, and enjoy being somewhere completely different. Now I'm feeling refreshed and excited for the months ahead in a familiar place.

As always, it's been great seeing new connections form in our community—whether that's people meeting up in person, finding crew opportunities, or simply getting to know one another online.

So here is your member-only New Moon Bulletin: a roundup of upcoming adventures, new members, community highlights, and a few opportunities and gatherings coming up over the next few weeks.

We share this every New Moon to help you stay connected—whether that's through sailing, joining a meetup, finding or becoming crew, or simply building more freedom, friendship, and fun into everyday life.

I hope you're enjoying the season wherever you are in the world.

P.S. If you'll be in Southwest England this summer, I'd love to hear from you—reach out!

With love,

Brianna

Has a fellow Ocean Nomad supported or inspired you? You can do the same and help out a fellow Nomad who is new to the platform. Say hi and motivate each other. Lots of us join and stay for different reasons. Don't hesitate to make those connections!

See who else is new, say hi, explore the profiles. And update your profile with the latest connection features so the right people will find you.

The Ocean Nomads Map helps us find each other and share discoveries around the world.

You can see who is nearby, explore vessels, projects and basecamps, and discover useful tips shared by fellow Ocean Nomads.

This map grows through the discoveries of the community. Every tip added helps the next Ocean Nomad explore a little wiser. Your small contribution may help someone else years from now.

Have you pinpointed your boat, van, travel location and treasures on the ON map yet?
