Ahoy! A flock for those who feel the call of the ocean. Boats, lighthouses, fishing, and the mighty deep — if it smells of saltwater and sounds like waves, it belongs here. Curated by a sailor who's spent more time at sea than on dry land.

The dread in this film is real. I've anchored in open ocean and stared down into that blue nothing below the hull — you can't see the bottom, you can't see what's down there, and your mind starts working against you. Two divers, forgotten by their boat, alone in the deep. Shot on actual open water with real sharks circling the actors. No sailor watches this without a cold shiver running up their spine.
