Rode Orm; a Laurin 32 ketch

[maxiSwede]

To me that sounds like a great route...lots of rich history along that path.  Plus you'll cruise right by many of us on your way south.   ;D

Yes, it seems like a thought to 'drop by' and maybe share a cold one... ;D ;D ;D

getting a bit curious about you folks  ;)

[maxiSwede]

Nothing much happens during the winter season here, but this weekend saw us make a little trip to a foreign country. I e the 15 miles to Copenhagen, Denmark.  ;D Sunny and a very light breeze, just about enough to keep us moving at 3-4 knots.

Since I can´t get any pics in here, you could have a look at

Magnus -

BRRRRR!!!  ;D :D

I like the furry hat - *that* looks warm! ;D

Below is the code you can use to insert pics from your Flickr account into your posts here:

Code Select Expand

[img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2091/2258257726_006a38eb53.jpg?v=0[/img]

Just replace whatever is between the "image tags" ({img} and {/img}) with the URL of your photo (but use the squared-off/straight bracket, not the squiggly bracket I put into this sentence).

The above gets you this:



Those are some seriously massive stern cleats you have there! I like them! :)

[maxiSwede]

Thanx Kurt! got that at last...  8)

No it doesn't work. When I preview- the urls are there and the brackets, but then- nothing ???

[CapnK]

I copied your code from above:

Code Select Expand

[img]http://www.flickr.com/photos/9218039@N06/1342780555/[/img]

And what that turns out to be is a URL, a link to the page itself, not *just* to the image.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/9218039@N06/1342780555/ is the page link.

h++p://farm2.static.flickr.c0m/1081/1342780555_73b805939d.jpg?v=0 is the actual photo address (except I made it so it wouldn't work). I got that by right-clicking on the image, and copying it's address, and puting that in between the {img} tags. I'm not sure what browser you are using, but that is how it works for Firefox.

[maxiSwede]

Wow, at last!  Thanx again Capt'n.  Lesson learned. :)

-as a 'bonus' to the rest of you, who had to stand these multiple postings from an illiterate Viking, I'll share this cool picture from la Seine river in Paris. I was there a weekend  in Jan and believe it or not. This 'live-aboard barge' on the river has an Amphibie car on it's erhh, poop deck. A Renault Dauphine,

thats about the coolest tender I've seen in a loooong time  ;)

and by the way, it's Firefox I use, on a Mac

Grog to you all!

[CapnK]

Great, glad you got it figured out! :)

I saw that pic at your Flickr, but didn't realize that that was an amphi-car. You're right, that *si* a very cool tender.  ;D I'd like to see how they launch it, though!

[AdriftAtSea]

Yeah, but hauling that over the stern rail is a tough job. :)

[Manannan]

I saw this car too. Those Frenchs... they love to show off don't they ?

You wouldn't be speaking from a certain amount of experience, would you?

;D

(Welcome aboard, Manannan! Grog! :))

[Manannan]

Mais bien sûr, mon ami ! ;D
Thanks for letting the ''frog'' in...

[maxiSwede]

Bienvenue mon ami francois  :)

[Pappy Jack]

Well,

Serves me right for not taking French back in high school ::).

Fair winds,

Pappy Jack

[maxiSwede]

Bienvenue mon ami francois  :)

OOOps,   mon ami francais.... and nothing else. know what you mean Pappy Jack, but one has to keep trying.  ;)

[Manannan]

You know the French if you do not spell or pronounce it correctly they will never forgive you. so let's correct to franÇais :D

[maxiSwede]

hehe, thats true, I just don't know how to type that little 'thing' underneath the 'C'  ;)

[AdriftAtSea]

Swede-

If you're on a Mac, it's easy... type option-c to get ç or option-C to get Ç :)  On a PC you can use the keyboard viewer application and copy and paste it from that.  I don't remember what the application is called, but it basically allows you to see all the characters you can type.   :)

[maxiSwede]

I am on a Mac - and way too often, wish I were on the boat more often - and you're right! thanks for the tip. worked on my swedish keyboard too. (which have the å and ä and ö) yup, 28 letters in the alphabet.... but the vikings did fine with only 23 or something IIRC  ;)

[Manannan]

Wonder where you got those ¨ from....  :P

I bet, your Mac will have the best seat on your boat !!

[maxiSwede]

they have each their dedicated key.
