did the dialup work?
I'm curious - did the dail-in to the emergency rudder seminar work? Was it useful? Might have been difficult given the invisibility of the rudders on display last night.

Hey Rob,
Worked great as far as I'm concerned. I had all the links loaded in separate windows. I was able to follow pretty well. We couldn't hear the questions, but that wasn't a big deal. I did sign off early though. I had attended the Transpac Seminar on Sunday the month before when they covered a lot of the same stuff. The big advantage is not to have to put out the cost of roundtrip airfare and a room for the night. What about sharing the costs for us using the conference line? I haven't seen anything final. Let me know when you have a total.
Thanks to everyone for working up there to provide us a good show.

First phone seminar cost.
We had 5 dial in's to the conference call.
The most remote was Barbara in Greece.
THe total cost for this first phone conference was $29.00.
We have feedback from two users, one by phone, one in this forum.
Let us know how we could do this better, or if not useful let us know that too.
Regards,
Brian

Hey there remote dial-ins,
Looks like the first seminar breaks down to about $6 each, so about the price of one yacht club cocktail or 2 beers. Not bad, eh?
Alan put together a great power point presentation which should make its way on to the web site shortly, along with some photos taken at the seminar.
So, you can mail a check payable to:
2008 Singlehanded Transpac
to:
Singlehanded Sailing Society
PO Box 457
Alameda, CA 94501
USA
Attn: 2008 Singlehanded Transpac
If you want to keep a running tab or make other payment arrangements send me a private email : [email protected]
and we can figure something out. Sorry, no credit cards.
Next seminar on Communications is schedued for Monday 17 December.

I'll put a check in the mail Monday.
The dial-in, while not perfect, was much better than missing the seminar. And six bucks worth of gas wouldn't get me out of the LA basin.
Thanks again to all involved - I'll be dialing in again on the 17th.

Audio Conference Dial Up for December 17th
The number and code will be the same for tomorrow nights seminar on Offshore Communications:
Dial up: 1 800 750 4065
code 131732#
Just a reminder: through the generosity of a few people you are able to get this information without the greater expense of being present at the Yacht Club, but we are providing this with the idea that it is based on the honor system and those that do take advantage will pay their share of the expenses. Last month I asked the folks that dialed in to contact me to arrange payment and only 2 did. I'm giving you all another chance this month, but if I don't see more honor I'm going to tell your father when he gets home, and then heads are gonna roll.

What a bummer we didn't know about the teleconferencing! Rob tried making it to the seminar tonight but apparently traffic was atrocious. He left Sausalito at 4 p.m. and didn't even make it to the Richmond bridge by 5:30.
Has there been any talk of making the seminars later in the evening so everyone can avoid the bulk of traffic?

Perhaps the traffic was particularly bad because of the rain and additional holiday traffic. 
Typically the commute starts to ease up by 6:30, but your results may vary. As it is now, the seminars run until 10 PM and often a bit over so if we started them later then 7:30 then it would be an equal hardship for the attendees to get home before it's tomorrow and then arrive fresh for work in the AM. 
The Pac Cup folks have a weekend all day seminar format. The next one is scheduled for Saturday February 23rd from 8 AM -8 PM. Details on their web site: www.pacificcup.org/

Synthia,
A check's in the mail - I picked up some good information in the seminar.

Hi Rob and LaDonna,
I thought maybe my experience here may help.. When I dial in I'm asked for the code. After I plug in the code, I'm switched to the conference call. The only indication you hear is a beep about 500-1000 hz. Then you're live on the speaker phone. I happened to be at the seminar in person last week and so I've experienced both ends of the call. I heard a few beeps well into the seminar meaning that people were coming on or off line.
Before about 1930 hrs as I recall, no one is presenting and so the only noise you would hear is the low roar of ambient noise from the people in the room. Next time try just saying "Hi, anyone there?"
P.S. I'm the guy with the Contessa 26 down in Costa Mesa.
Hope this helps,
Riich
