For over 20 years, I worked at sea as a Captain on ocean-going tugs, anchor handling vessels, and offshore supply vessels, sailing across waters all around the world. Life at sea gave me not only experience and adventure, but also a deep appreciation for the charts that guided every passage, every tow, and every safe arrival.

Many of the authentic nautical charts I collected during my voyages and from the vessels I commanded have now found a new purpose as the foundation of Nautical Notes. Each card is created from a real chart once used in navigation, carrying with it the history of the mariners who relied on it.

Through Nautical Notes, I get to share a piece of that maritime heritage. Every card is more than stationery — it’s a keepsake, a fragment of ocean history, and a reminder of the voyages that connect us all.
