Sailing Italy - first trip

Post by marsanden »

Last week we did our first sailing tour in the southern Mediterranean, Cilento National park.
Me, my 9 years old son, and my 13 years old nepwe. One week trip.

We started from Pisciotta, sailed along the itinerary that you can see on the map.( Pisciotta,
Cetraro, Tropea, Amantea, Maratea,Scario, Marina Di Camerota, Pisciotta ).
i know the most part of you dont know those sites, but, believe me, they are beautifull.

In Red the outward journey,in black the return, in Blue the only trip that we could do by sailing( only 1 windy day - 10 knots- )

total 450 miles ( 20 miles sailing).

It was a wonderfull trip.

Thanks to this site and all the suggests all of you gave to me.

Your link is pointing to your own hard disk! That won't work on the internets.

Try creating a free account at http://www.photobucket.com, then upload your photo from your hard drive to the Photobucket site, then use the link they provide to post it here.

Right,

Just to add to what Kevin said - the MacGregorSailors server doesn't hold on to any pics, so you can't send/upload your picture and have it display. You can only supply a link to another website that can display the graphic.

I also use photobucket - it's free and easy, doesn't spam, and has a button for copying the link to your photo, so you can paste it into your message post (in between the [img]and[/img] ).

Actually, Bob, it gives you three links for your photos... one is purely an URL reference, one is an HTML-formatted link and the last is a BBCode link (as used here with the [img] tags). But the slick bit about Photobucket is that when you simply click on the link that they offer it *automagicly* copies it to your clipboard... then you just past it here... and the copy already comes formatted with the [img] tags! You don't need to add [img] tags at all. Nice.

Just shows the versatility of these boats, only one day suitable for sailing and still a great trip.
Looks like the kids had a great time too, fantastic.

Thanks for sharing, nice pics.

Tip for using photobucket, I downloaded FLOCK. With that, I can drag and drop as many pics from my hard drive as I want to. They are then uploaded all at once, instead of selecting them one at a time. Open the upload window using FLOCK, open your "My Pictures" folder, select the pics you want to upload, hundreds at a time if you want, drag and drop them onto the upload window, select your upload options like size/folder destination/etc, click upload, go get yourself a beer and it will work away till it's all done.

Cheers
