OpenCPN may require you to select something other than "AIS Port

Wayne, I will fiddle with the settings again on Tuesday. Thanks for putting
me onto OpenCPN, which is really a great project. I am trying to keep up
with the fast pace of development on the Cruisers Forum. These guys are
really going at it and are quite the crew.

Yes, they are off to a good start. I'm hoping that eventually I will
be able to use OpenCPN as a replacement for Maptech Offshore Navigator
which is quite a good package but no longer supported.
