Why MarineVerse?
I would do this for the rest of my life! Ever since a kid, I’ve loved small sailboarding and was a big reason I joined Boys Scouts - to get sailing time in, not just the merit badge. Many-a-capsize later, I had the chance to go to university in Hawaii and join the Polynesian Voyaging Society to go deeper into sailing culture and get hands-on experience on Hawaiian canoes (so much to be able to just share here) Barring one or two titles, Virtual Reality has become more interesting to me than console/PC gaming, to put it lightly. Can’t wait to see the advancement at the crossroads of VR tech innovation and sailing. Let’s go!
Sailing experience:
I’m reading the book Swell, and I’m stymied by the distances she’s traveled, or the head of sailing faculty at UCONN Avery Point. I admire the mission of non-profits like Okeanos and the magnitude of the sailing legacy of the ongoing Hawaiian Renaissance and several other cultures through the Polynesian Voyaging Society. I have sailed around the Hawaiian Islands and am currently varnishing a New England style sailboat in CT to take down the Connecticut river into the sea. I have not sailed super far and would love to meet up with other like-minded sorts, but I don’t know how to connect any longer all that much. Maybe there’s a close by group that is using MarineVerse!
