Subject: [Phrf] Winter Seminar for Cruisers


I was contacted by Mark Doyle, who is a publisher of the Managing the Waterway Cruising Guide & Electronic Charting Series, to find out if we might be interested in hosting a winter seminar at WYC. The format would be similar to the traditional winter seminars, with pizza and beer/wine, followed by a presentation. The price would be $20 to attend. 

The following are lists of possible presentation topics. Each topic is generally 1 to 1 1/2 hour long, and so the presentation could potentially include two topics. 

Please let me know if you would be interested in attending a seminar this winter, and if so, which of the following topics would be of most interest to you. If there is enough interest, I will schedule a seminar sometime after the first of the year. 

I appreciate any feedback you might provide. 

Thanks,
Beth Frampton

The Cruising Computer
You probably own a laptop and a cell phone, but do you take advantage of the profusion of marine resources and tools now available for personal computers? Why not harness the power of electronic charts, satellite imagery, sophisticated piloting features, weather downloads, buddy boat tracking, geo-referencing a digital photo library, free local and international calling, and an inexhaustible supply of downloadable nautical references? This seminar covers a range of ideas and scenarios for bringing a laptop and smartphone aboard … and learning to do more with them!


Mobile Apps for Mariners
When Apple tells us "there's an app for that," do they mean boating? Can an iPad really replace your chartplotter? Join us for a marine mashup of best-of-breed smartphone and tablet applications. We'll cover electronic charting; automatically identifying other vessels (AIS); maintaining fuel, travel and maintenance logs; finding boat ramps; forecasting weather; setting anchor alarms; referencing nautical publications such as the nav rules or light lists; and much-much more!


Cruising the Great Loop Inland Waterway — Chicago to Land Between the Lakes
Join us for a fun and informative preview of the Inland Waterway from Chicago to Land Between the Lakes in Kentucky and Tennessee. Still a Mark Twain adventure, this river route includes the Illinois, Upper Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and Cumberland Rivers. This presentation overviews what to expect when transiting these commercial waterways and offers valuable river-by-river planning and cruising advice.


Managing the ICW Dream — Norfolk to Miami
Join us for a fun and informative preview of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. For many boaters, transiting the ICW is a trip of a lifetime. But planning ahead is the key. With the right resources and a bit of foresight, your vessel becomes your magic carpet ride through this historical and wildlife-rich slice of waterfront America. This presentation highlights the route and offers valuable state-by-state planning advice.


Exploring the Florida Keys — Miami to the Dry Tortugas
Join us for a fun and informative preview of the Florida Keys. Often called, "America's Bahamas," this 192-mile chain of small islands is home to North America's only barrier coral reef. Boasting plentiful and convenient services, and a tropical average temperature of 82ºF, this is truly America's cruising, fishing, and diving paradise. This presentation highlights both Hawk Channel and Florida Bay routes and offers valuable planning and cruising advice.
