There is a moment on every passage worth writing down. The squall that arrived twenty minutes early. The mahi that did not get away. The sunrise that made the whole night watch worth it. Most of those stories die in a WhatsApp thread. We built the Ship's Blog so they get the page they deserve.
Every vessel on WatchKeeper gets a public blog at its own address. You write in plain text or markdown, drop in photos, and your position and passage can ride along automatically. Your family and friends read it on any device, share buttons included, no account needed.
And these are not ten shades of the same page. The template gallery runs from a broadsheet newspaper to a phosphor radio-room terminal, a message in a bottle, an origami storybook, a synthwave night passage, and five more. Cloud Nine’s own blog runs on it: every post written from the cockpit with the same editor you would get.
- Your own address: a public page for your vessel, live in minutes
- Ten designer templates: broadsheet to radio-room terminal, all distinct
- Markdown posts: plain text or markdown, photos included
- Position and passage: ride along with every post, automatically
- No account to read: family and friends just open the page
- Share buttons: every post ready to travel
Free, forever. Not a trial, not a teaser. The Ship’s Blog is how the people you love follow the boat, and we think that should never cost anything.
Written from the cockpit, read from home.
WatchKeeper is a passage log and shore-crew briefing tool for sailors who take the ocean seriously. One tool for the logbook, the AI shore briefs, the safety locker, the crew records, and the boat itself, built and dogfooded on a real ocean crossing aboard SV Cloud Nine.
Guides for everything live at support.watchkeeper.me, and every boat gets a free public Ship’s Blog the family can follow.
