I had just downloaded
OpenCPN. A visitor arrived at our Yacht Club so I took a break to sign him in. I asked if he used
OpenCPN. Yes- he used it because he was one of the developers! Talk about meeting the right person at the right moment. So he showed me how to download
charts and a few other things. Also gave me his e-mail and said to write if I had troubles. So in exchange I gave him
advice on single-handed sailing and loaned him my
dinghy.
