Hi All,
Just a little note to say how much I appreciate all of the appreciation of
the Photo Site, and I'd like to share with all of you, today's sail.
David Wood and I sailed M-15 Margarita for a couple of hours in mixed up
winds both in strength from dead calm to 20 kts and from all directions and
changing every five to fifteen minutes. We sailed with a Rhoades 22, full main
and
130 Genoa which admitted we were very hard to catch (they didn't catch us) and
one 20+ footer, maybe an aquarius, that just lowered the sails and motored in.
There was one wind shift which hit particularily hard to our broad side
jolting us awake, making me very happy I wasn't in a Potter 15, that's the kind
of
gust the P-15 sailors end up going turtle with. I love this boat!
Next... as a follow up, I'm being mentored by David in web design, server
selection, software suggestions and new photo editing software. I tell you,
this
guy is smart. You'll recall he did our new M-Boats line drawing Art work. What
you may not know is he is a web design expert as well. Anyway, On the way
back home I spent a bunch of money on books and software and I'll be working on
making a real website for the MSOG pictures. Now, this takes time, so I'll
continue to use Funtigo until I get a real plan and am able to create something
better than we now have. My goal is to have a site "accessable to all" as well
as have a server that keeps up with our demands.
Finally, I would like to publically thank all of the people who have donated
material as well as time to the site, it's you who are making the site what it
is. You efforts, your fun and your willingness to help is a gift. Thanks!
Bill
