Cruising Sailors Forum Archive

Found a new easy way to upload to a website while out of communication cruising.

We had used 'Blogger' to post as we cruise but I've just opened a 'posterous' (free) account.

I set the page up in about 10 minutes and both test uploads were done via E-mail. The second one with photo (the Admiral underwater) was sent via Winlink email. I resized the photo to 16 kb and sent it from a friends boat using an ICOM 710-SSB and Pactor 3.

All in all. It looks like a good easy way to keep family and friends updated on the goings on while your out of cell phone and internet range.

It's a junky site at the moment as I was just exploring what could be done via email.
