It’s time to look forward to our first flotilla to the east.
I want to thank Kat, and the contributing members who took the initiative to begin planning our trips.
Putting together an event schedule for this season has been nothing but a series of unknown options. So we filled in a couple weeks with excursions. The idea was to align our travel with hopes we could go on the same days, taking care to look after each other or meeting up to enjoy each others’ company.
In our call last night, the idea took a step further, where members requested a method of posting travel dates on a shared calendar to let each other know when they plan to go. I also encourage non-members with accounts to make us aware of events in which we may participate.
That new feature has been added.
To create an events post: Login to the site and look on the top of the screen for “events,” choose add and follow the prompts. Only a minimal amount of information is needed, and there is no problem with creating multiple events on the same day. Multi-day events are also supported.
To see the calendar:
Select the 2020- Event schedule from the main menu. Click on the multicolored “Activity Calendar” and you will be taken to the new page. You have the option of looking at a list, a day or even a whole month.
This feature brings with it some responsibility. Please keep it up to date. If you change plans you should delete your own entries.
REMINDER:
To post, or comment on a post you must have a registered email address. If you send an email to members@pointlookoutyc.com to be posted, the sending mailbox must match the registered address of your user account.
Finally, if members feel uncomfortable about posting their travel plans, we can set the events page to be viewed by members only. This is an all or nothing at all switch, so if most of us feel it will more frequently used when protected from public view, we’ll do that.
Thank you Race Commodore for posting the Sore Thumb access information (see below).
I will be sailing on Sunday. I hope see you and some wild life.
Have a great Summer Solstice! Too bad raft-ups are currently not permitted.
