Upcoming SailMail Seminars
Sailmail is presenting two seminars this fall. The first was in
San Diego on Oct 23 and was very well attended, many thanks to
everyone who attended.
The next one will be in Melbourne, Florida on Nov. 8th, 2007
This will be an intensive 7-hour seminar on using Sailmail
including a quick review of the basics, troubleshooting connection
problems, how and where to get weather information, how to connect
to Sailmail via satphones and shoreside connections, how to manage
email and archives while cruising, getting weather info, etc.
The presenters will be Jim and Sue Corenman and Shea Weston, all
experienced cruisers and circumnavigators. Jim, along with Stan
Honey, founded Sailmail 9 years ago; Sue handles memberships, and
Shea Weston is Sailmail's tech support-- you will be learning from
the experts.
We'll bring lunch, snacks and refreshments, you bring pencil/paper
and your computer if you want-- we'll provide marginal wi-fi for a
realistic marina experience. And if you are allergic to deli
sandwiches then you might want to bring your own.
There will be a small charge to cover expenses, details below.
