Erich, why do you not upload these to the website?
This is mostly a issue with me and curiosity if we are not making the upload useful. Too often, a postimage or photobucket account gets closed down and we loose all the photos.
Help me understand!
Great photos by the way.

I'm just a creature of habit. I've always used the postimages site. As far as I can tell, with the image upload on the forum, you can only select one image at a time. With positmages, I can do them all in bulk and save time. I may very well be missing something, though.

[salmon]

Thank you! I understand.

If you have enable "enhanced attachment uploading" you should be able to select more then one at a time.

Go to: Settings -> General Settings -> Enhanced Attachment Uploading

Erick,

Thanx for the pix.

[salmon]

Jeff, what about total size limitations?

[Parallax]

Hey Jeff, If I remember right, you can load a max of 6 photos at a time which can be pretty tedious. Another issue I've found is that the forum makes the images much smaller, causing a lose of a lot of the detail. To get around that I have been posting pictures on the forum, but making originals available on google photos for access to much higher quality photos.

Erich, thank you for posting these photos btw, I am going to try my best to go next year. I am especially loving the Japanese cruiser which I believe is a Mogami, and I think a Virginia class nuclear cruiser?

[eckloss]

Yes, it is Mogami. A beautiful boat.

Thanks Eric! You got some great shots of my subs.

[ccontrol]

I've always loved the nuclear powered cruisers. The CGN 41, USS Arkansas, is a beautiful model.

[salmon]

Is the a 1/144 scale cruiser? It is beautiful.

During this event, how much time is actually available to put your boats in the water? Are there allotted times for surface ships vs subs, scale specific, time period, or any other parameters? How deep is the pool btw? Is there a Harbor Master or is it every captain for themselves with cats and dogs living together?

For this particular event, we ran from 8am to 4-ish-pm. It was a two-day event, much like the fun sub run in August at this location. That's the one you WANT to be at if you're a sub guy. Lots of people, lots of boats, people from all over the US and Canada. More info on the August run can be found in the Events and Regattas section of the boards. Normally, the sub guys hang around the south end of the pond, the Indy admirals (mostly surface boats) towards the north-east end. Pictures don't do it justice. The pond is beyond massive! and less than three feet deep with a concrete bottom. Ideal for boats of all kinds.
