Free webinar about electronics and communications for cruisers

[Auspicious]

I'm presenting a free webinar that is an overview of electronics and communications for cruising boats. The webinar is part of a series sponsored by a yacht broker. We're not selling anything. We are cruisers helping cruisers who are hunkered down in these challenging times.

I am a degreed naval architect and marine engineer with a great deal of experience in communications and other electronics. I've been a comms guy longer than a sailor. I left corporate work and now deliver boats, install and service electronics, and do yacht management from an Annapolis base. I have spoken on a range of topics and have been published in most of the major national magazines.

The meeting link isn't up yet but will be at https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/sailing-events and I'll post it here.

Hi

For those of us in time zones that don't lend themselves to attending live, is there any possibility you could record this and post a link somewhere? It sounds great, and kudos to you for doing this.

Hello Trevor. Excellent and reasonable question. The answer is that is already in the plan. There will be a free YouTube video recording of the presentation and of all the questions and answers then.

You'll have my email address in the presentation. My plan, if I can stay this organized, is to post all the offline Q&A in the YouTube comments so everything is together in one place.

We did give some thought to time zones and there really are few if any solutions that work for everyone. We got the Americas, Europe, and Africa. That doesn't bode well for Australia, New Zealand, and most of the South Pacific and SEA.

Tell your friends. *grin*
