Post subject:  Armada on the Gippsland Lakes

Old Pirate was in his element today surrounded by Hobies. Six Adventure Islands surrounded Mickey and Minnie Mouse in their brand spanker Tandem Island. We had a wonderful day sailing from one spot to another beginning with very little wind and but it grew to 5 to 10 knots as the day progressed. All went well and I took quite a few pics and some footage so I might try to find the time to slap a video together later this week. One of our mob was trailing a lure and caught some decent tailor, but the rest of us just went for the pleasure of sailing...Pirate

Pirate, you need to use the Img tab. You've used URL. But there's something else wrong, because I tried replacing the URL tabs with Img tabs and the images still don't display.

Ahh, got it. You've browsed to the images on the Dropbox website, then copied their addresses. What you need to do is open your Dropbox folder on your own computer, then find the images in your public folder, then right click on each image, then select Dropbox->copy public link.
Then click the Img tab in your post and paste in between the Img and /img tabs.

No. 1 Pic...Pirate with friends. This is out at Spermwhale Head having a break and a cuppa with good friends. Notice we have lady AI sailors in our group. Mikes wife and Barb, who has her own AI. We started out with 7 AIs and 1 TI that being Mickey with his loved TI.

No. 2 Pic.....Pulled into Duck Arm is the full armada. Great weather, great company, great boats...get the picture. We all had a fantastic day on the Gippsland Lakes and note there are other Hobie AIs here that were not with us yet.

How is that Chris?. I know the pics look just a tad small but I used iphotos reduce and email function by emailing to myself. It worked and was quick but will have to tweek the settings..I do intend to do something with the many photos and footage I took but a bit busy with end of month accounts just now...Pirate :wink:
