A rescue of Raw Faith is underway.  Raw Faith, a 118' tall ship built by her owner George McKay, was enroute from Salem to Bermuda with a crew of 2.  This is the third time, and hopefilly the last, the USCG has been involved with a rescue of Raw Faith.  A crew of 2 seems very sparse for a vessel that size that far off shore.  It has been reported that Raw Faith was forced to leave Salem, since it could not find adequate mooring facilities for the winter.

A friend suggested that I look at OpenCPN, an open source navigation and charting application from SourceForge.  OpenCPN supports many chart formats, including ENC.  NOAA provides free ENC charts for the US coastal areas and the Great Lakes.
