-------------------
On Monday Oct 20 we will present an intensive all-day seminar
in San Diego 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, etc.
The presenters will be Jim and Sue Corenman and Shea Weston,
all experienced cruisers and circumnavigators. Jim, along with
Stan Honey, founded Sailmail 10 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.
This seminar will be from 9 am-4 pm on Monday Oct. 20 at the
Point Loma Assembly Hall, 3035 Talbot St, San Diego.
Please check in starting at 8:30 AM, the seminar will begin at 9 AM.
