Notice the position of the winch pads. Way aft.

Hey Capt Walbert

Fix it sail it

How's progress on #1 ??? Any new pics ?? news ???

[walberts]

John hurt his back about 8 weeks ago and Kestrel has not had any more done to her. But, a lot was done since I took the pictures I posted, so I'll ask him if I can take a few more as updates.

I know he re-did the hull deck joint and probably much else as well. The mast and the cockpit are painted ... but the finish varnish work is not done. All the wood on the interior is cherry and poplar from his farm.

[walberts]

I haven't gotten back down to John G's farm to take any more pics yet. I will post more as soon as I can.

[walberts]

OK .. I am hopeful that this will make it to the site. I am struggling with technology again.

[walberts]

Now I see what was happening. Each picture exceeds the file size for the forum. Any suggestions as to how to get around this problem?

[Bill]

As per the E-mail sent you, the photo size needs to be reduced. The software that came with your digital camera should be able to do this. Posted graphics should be no larger than 600 pixels on the longest side of the graphic. That's about 2 inches if you're using linear measurements.

[walberts]

Unfortunately, I downloaded all the pictures onto the computer and then deleted them from the camera. I hope I can somehow post what I have. Do you know of any other options?

My email has changed. It's now billalberts at comcast dot net

[Bill]

The photos should still be on your PC. Find them and use the software from the camera, Microsoft's photo software or go to Google and download a free program call Picasa that will edit and organize you photos much in the same fashion as Adobe Photo Shop Elements.

Then remove those over large photos you posted earlier, reduce their size and repost them.

Here you go. I offered to resize it for Bill, because I'm sure we're all anxious to see no. 1 hit the water again!
