Sadly the host I'm using (1&1) are a little uncooperative. I can't even add code so no embedded vids etc. for the moment at least. Might trial it free for a month, add the code, then see if it stays on. I've had to be a little bit clever to make things work - like gifs for rotating images where using a proper software package would have done it automagically, and splitting the database between boats and email adresses. It's a little fiddly, but I think it's worked. More content coming this week!
I'm using iWeb on my macbook, it's so easy even I can do it

I am pretty sure the cocktail was around long before the branded beverage.

My next boat is going to be called Bond Girl

If John gives me permission to use the Ribnet logo (or part of, then I guess I could put something together with a little more jazz? I seem to spend my entire life on computers at the moment

I'm just enjoying the fact your Osprey Owners thread has turned into another Floptilla thread

I agree. I think I might have to kick any non Osprey Owners off this thread. (Notice capitals) In fact, go on; shoo! You're banished from this thread

Were I allowed to be in this thread, I would say "the right of what?".

When giving a bearing always use a solid reference point. For example, 090º of Buoy B2. (You would say bravo, not bee of course)

If you cant do it right you should...

A) Do what you can and hope no one notices

B) Not do it at all and hope no one misses it

C) Think carefully about the consequences of your choices

A flag can be many things, a banana, a hammer, they represent identity.
