Hi Gary,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I've been settling some last-minute details on fall classes.
So glad to hear you're thinking about attending the class in October. As you know the dates are Saturday and Sunday, October 27-28. The cost is $140 for the whole weekend (less for Mystic Seaport members). The workshop runs from 10am-4pm both days. We'll take an hour for lunch on the cloudy day out of the two, and on the day with better weather we'll shoot Sun sights from a nearby shore location. There's a fairly detailed description here:

Please let me know if you have any more specific questions about the class. Of course, nearly all of the navigation technicalities will be relatively familiar to you since this is an intro level class, but the history that accompanies that should be new and interesting.
Do you want to try to do a small NavList group dinner on Saturday or Sunday evening? I would be happy to arrange that. As you know, there's a high concentration of NavList members within driving distance of Mystic Seaport.
