Re: Cal Yacht Club (Anthony)

Anthony has started driving in the pilings: "I'm starting to work on a website for all to enjoy. It will also be Cal Yacht club for those that are interested to chat, share, etc. I'm starting to work on a website for all to enjoy. It will also be Cal Yacht club for those that are interested to chat, share, etc." That's great news! Thanks for taking this on. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you want it, as I suspect there are a number of Web savvy participants who might not be willing to launch such a project, but could be convinced to pull on an oar from time to time. One of the past incarnations of the Cal List Web site had a great feature that I'd love to see replicated, if you're interested and are willing. It was a "push pin" map of the country (world?) and we could enter the lat/long coordinates of our boats, and provide names and even a picture, I think. I believe it was a free feature implemented from some other service, so if you stumble across something like that and can implement it on your new site, I think it's a great feature.

Thanks for the link, Anthony. That's the one I was thinking of, as it was the most recent. Someone had put one on the Cal List Web site - http://www.calyachts.org/ - but it went away for some reason. You might check out the Cal List site for some ideas about things you might want to include. I see from your site that you're planning to charge a membership fee. The Cal List site is free, and if you want to apply some of your Web efforts there, I'm sure that they'd be appreciated. Alfred Poor 1969 Cal 29 #132, "Pentaquod" Alfred, thanks for the offer of help and I will take you up on it. I did stumble across the site I think your talking about. Its <http://www.frappr.com/calboats> http://www.frappr.com/calboats < <http://www.frappr.com/calboats> http://www.frappr.com/calboats> I signed up a few weeks ago but havent been back.
