Val WOW that sure looks great. I think thats the first picture I have ever seen of your boat actually in the water. Its amazing what they can do with all these video edditing programs today. Im sure now that she is in the water your sanity will slowly return. In all honesty great to see Calista in the water. BTW nice dodger.

That dodger gives your boat that nice 'sporty' look! <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>

Uhhh... No such luck. I live just across Long Island and Long Island Sound from Val, and I think I can assure you his boatyard and slip don't look like that now. Pile 10" of snow on top of the dodger, and you'd be closer to reality. So Val's sanity is still in question. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Say Val... For future reference, who did your canvas? Good color, too--it matches up nicely with the gifts from the sea rats (seagulls).

Hi Val,

WOW! Calista is a beauty!

How does one get a picture to appear with each post? - Val Bisagni

I'm assuming you want to add a photo of Calista (or some other photo) to your signature block ... right?

Here's what you do: Go to the top of the page and click on "Profile." You will be asked to fill in your user name and password (both will probably already be there, if you are logged in). Click on "submit," and your profile page will appear. At the bottom right of this page you'll see your signature block information in a section titled "signature." All you have to do is manually put in the image brackets and the "http: address" of the photo you want to use in your signature block.

Here is what my signature block looks like:


Buzz Maring, C-25 SK/SR #68, "Freya"
{img}http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b3df23b3127cce9306a9b3abad0000001010{/img} ... pretend the {} = []

That's all there is to it ... if you run into any problems, let me know.

'Nice boat!

Copy and paste the address below into your profile like Buzz instructed and you will get the smaller thumbnail picture.

Hi all,

Wheeeew, this is as much fun as sailing downwind without a rudder, getting little thingies posted along with your other stuff, that is.
Dave is right on one point(my sanity has never been questioned except by him and my family)the picture posted was taken while I was still considering leaving her in for the winter, it being unseasonally warm for that time of year. Soon after it froze up all over the bay and the boat was being cracked free of the icy hold each morning until the yard finally gave me the go ahead. She looks much as Dave describes now under partial tarps and 10 inches of snow.

Thanks once again to all for the patience and assistance offered to this Vic 20 kinda guy....I actually am hesitant to sign off thinking that the thumbnail wont be there.

Bryan's right ... for both of y'all (Val & Derek) the info you typed for the bracket part isn't quite right. When you insert the http: address between the sets of brackets, be sure the bracket stuff at the beginning and the end is typed correctly:

{img} {/img} BUT, use [] instead of {}

Don't forget the "/" (diagonal) in the end set of brackets ... that sorta' turns off the image feature and allows the site to read the http: address.

'Hope that makes sense ... this stuff isn't hard, but computers are stupid, and only recognize perfect syntax ...

BTW Derek ... where was I? Well, I was dropping boat units at West Marine ... 'walked out with one tiny sack that cost almost $30 ... the joys of boat ownership ...

Hi Arlen,

Someone on the AM band just recounted the number of failures that Abraham Lincoln endured before successfully becoming president, it was endless, (and I hesitate to add that success was wasn't all it was cracked up to be...P.B.)

I think Sunbrella calls it Linen though splat might easily be used to address it.
