Weathernet Testimonials

	You have two of the best cruising products out there and look forward to using them next time we head out.

Thanks for getting back to me. Before we get all busy here again, we wanted to take the time to say ( again) that:

You and your company have consistently exceeded our expectations in terms of customer service and excellence. In the dozens of interactions we have had with many members of your staff, about a wide variety of subjects, everyone has always been intelligent, courteous, knowledgeable, and fast to respond. Goods have always been shipped exactly as requested, exactly when promis ed, and correctly addressed. Questions are always answered fast and accurately.

We do business with a wide variety of companies and find that consistent excellence is very very rare. With you, there don't seem to be "good days" and "bad days." Every day is excellent..

This kind of overall superiority has to be more than coincidence, it is obviously a company culture or philosophy, and we applaud it. again.

	Thanks for your help. Your technical support and products are outstanding.

	I have been most impressed with your software and with you personal service. I want you to know that I have been impressed not only with our mail program but with the Weathernet. When we were in a bad low pressure system three days ago and trying to make decisions based upon weather. The ability to get information via your programs was greatly reassuring. Thanks Again,

	Hi Mark&Jeff, I have been back home from the Global-Challenge for a couple of months now and things are starting to feel alittle more normal! While the Global-Challenge ended farther differently than I imagined, Sark won both Southern-Ocean Legs, holds the record for Leg2 and was the first boat round Cape-Horn and the first boat to complete her circumnavigation. OCENS made this possible! I would like to thank you & OCENS for your support :) I have valued our relationship immensely and learned so much personally from you...please accept my warmest thanks from the bottom of my heart. Thank you :)

	I recently saw your OCENS software [weathernet and email service] working on a visiting yacht here in Gibraltar and was very impressed. So much so that I would now like to install the system on one of our charter yachts that makes the trans-Atlantic crossing every year to the Caribbean.
	- Colin Thomas

	It works GREAT!! Terrific...as promised. This is the greatest thing for mariners since sliced bread. We will certainly sing your praises to all whom we meet. It seems perfect, no glitches at all.

	"I was competing in the Daimler Chrysler North Atlantic Challenge as the navigator and tactician aboard Zukunft IV. We finished 4th in RC and 2nd in IMS on corrected time. WeatherNet was a valuable and reliable tool for the download of weather fax charts and text forecasts throughout the race. The download times via SSB and Iridium were as short as it is claimed by OCENS. We would not have been able to use the SSB for downloading weather fax chartswithout WeatherNet."

	I am aboard my Hunter 466 and just got HIT by a weather front out of the NW I was NOT prepared for. On a moonless night at 3am heading for the shallow, narrow Davis Channel at the south tip of Eleuthera, Bahamas and the rocky lee coast. I would like to have your software "WeatherNet" that was presented at the Miami Boat Show. I have an ICOM IC-M710 and the new Pactor III.
	- Mike Harker

	We recently downloaded 2 Gulf of Mexico ocean temperature charts over a Globalstar phone. Using the conventional tools the download took 10 minutes. Using WeatherNet the same download took 50 seconds for a savings of $7.50.

	"you gus are great and I am very happy with the system and mostly your information."
	- Chris D'Amore

	The trip back was near-ideal, due in part to the excellent Weathernet predictions. We made the 360 miles back to Key West in 47 hours. Several other boats found out about our grib files and used the current and weather information to plan their return trip and travel along with us. The currect file was especially useful in allowing us to plan the most favorable route both ways. All in all, our experience in Isla Mujeres has been the best of our sailing ventures.
	- Pat & Bill Garner, s/v Ubiquitous

	Success in the Transatlantic race with a first in our class. The software and e-mail system worked well, and was very effective over the Mini M connection as well as globalstar.
	- Michael Lawson, s/v Tempest

	"To anyone who makes their living on the water the OCENS WeatherNet product is a must."
	- Tom Branshaw, Owner & Captain, FV Northern Mariner, Cordova, AK

Thanks Rachelle. We had fun and with the Bermuda race we would not have won without being able to download the Gulf current temperatures.

For Halifax it was nice to check on the changing winds since the weather models were wrong at the start. We did nt break the record because of the lite winds but at least on elapsed time we won the entire race.

	"Be asured , so far they are rating the product as one of the best Weather forecasts for the North Sea they have ever seen."
	- Andrew (Selex Communications)

	Your support of this project has made such a differance. We presently have Adrian tucked away only a few miles from land but also the same storm that is demolishing the Volvo Ocean Race fleet off the west coast of Portugal. This degree of accuracy would not have been possible without your software.
