Ewan, any idea yet about when you’ll have someone fetch the tank & hooka rig?  And is this a good email address to use for you…or should I use another?  Forgot to ask the other day.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give you all an update on the site and where we are with the development work, and also an update on the funds spent and what is next.

Firstly, I’d like to apologize for the big emails snafu’s that have occurred with attachments. These should be in a better state now, as we’ve limited the size of attachments to 10MB and if you send/post a larger batch, the file is replaced by a link to a place on the site where the photo is stored. This should help address the challenges we’ve had.

Secondly, we’re trying to stabilize what we have in the site right now, waiting for the development of the last piece of functionality that will really round out what you’re all looking for – the ability to receive digests instead of lots of emails daily. I’m not sure how long this feature is going to take to implement, but it is definitely on its way.

Lastly, on funds. We’ve received about $685 of the $1400 we need to support the site, from 19 people, of the 66 who have logged in to the site. At present, I am on the hook for the balance, so to those of you who have contributed, thank you very much!

Fair winds!

Ewan

Ewan,

Please remind us again what email address to credit on PayPal in order to contribute to the fund. I’m game for another contribution, and I’m sure all 47 of our yet-to-pitch-in members are anxious to join in, as well.

Thanks,

Tor

Hi Everyone!

23 people have contributed $895(excluding two checks I’ve been promised) to the site, of the $1500 spent to date. 65 people out of 185 have logged on and used resources!

I’m so grateful to have helped get this going. We’ve managed to resolve most of the critical issues and all we’re hassling with are some formatting issues at this point.

If you’re needing any additional changes to improve your experience of the site, please let me know.

If you’re inclined to help with any of the expenses (and its not mandatory, but certainly appreciated), please use the PayPal link at the top.

I’m excited to bring the gallery and content to the new site next.

Ewan

I apologize for being a freeloader, maybe I should just leave the site until I can afford to contribute. Unfortunately since quitting our jobs, buying the boat, moving the boat, and now being a one income household, finances are tight. Literally surviving on PB&J’s and beans. It has been, and continues to be a major life change and sacrifice to make this happen but we’re both very happy living on the boat. Someday we’ll be able to splurge on a six pack and have a toast to our good fortune. On second thought, I’ll probably contribute that $5 to the site to get my name off the freeloader list. I do appreciate all of the great info.
