The newly re-launched IP Home Port Gallery (link) is working well based on my testing. A couple of minor bugs have been found and fixed since the re-launch but other than that it's ready for some real traffic to make sure that everything's OK. As Capt Ron once said, "if anything's gonna happen it's gonna happen out there ..."
With that it mind, I've decided to offer an incentive for everyone to try posting a photo in the new Gallery. Everyone that uploads at least one qualifying photo to the Gallery by midnight September 30, 2011 will have their name thrown into a hat (an IP hat, of course). On October 1 one lucky winner will be drawn at random and will receive a brand new pair (2) of acrylic, self-adhesive 'Oval & Star' Island Packet logos, normally $63.95 each in the Upgrades section of Island Packet Ship's Store. See complete contest rules at the bottom of this message.
These logos are great for replacing the original weathered ones on your boat but can be used on teak plaques, tailgates, bumper hitch covers, or just about anywhere you want to show your Packet Pride. Warning : Use of these logos as a belt buckle or neck chain swag is entirely at your own personal risk!
Uploading photos is fast and easy - just click on Upload Photos in the Gallery menu (in the upper right corner of this page) and complete the dialog provided. If you need additional assistance with using the Gallery please try the new Help tool that is always just a click away via the Main Menu.
As always, please report any issues, comments, or suggestions regarding the Gallery or any other aspect of this site by sending a PM to Stuart W.
Thanks and have fun!
Stuart
