Any WCHA folk going to be at this event?

I'll be there with my family, Dave McD is coming out from Michigan, and a few of the other No-Octane regulars are expected to show up....

See you there!

Nice day at Little Wolf Pond

Many folks turned out for a beautifully sunny day at the large sandy beach at Little Wolf Pond in Tupper Lake NY. There were good breezes for sailing most of the time, and folks came from NY, CT, NJ, OH, and other states. Many canoes and boats of all types to be seen. Nice to see a solid WCHA presence.
We also went to the new Wild Museum (NOT the museum at Blue Mountain Lake). Fascinating exhibits of Adirondack flora and fauna. Live otters swimming in one exhibit, and many trout and other fish in large tanks. Nice to see what's hard to catch...Still a bit under construction outside the main building.

Hi Andre

If you give me your email address I will send you some pics.
The file size is to large for the forum to post.

Photo try - help needed.

Hi - I've been trying to upload no-octane photos, but they're 1.23 meg and exceed the limits of the forum. How can I make them into thumbnails to post them without running afoul of the size limitation? (I have a MAC, if that matters.)

Hi Mike,

I use Mac OS X.4 - here are a few ways you can reduce your image size...

Since you don't have far to go (our limit is 1MB for attachements), you might be able to simply save again as a JPEG using Preview - move the quality slider lower and your file size will be smaller.

I also use IPhoto or, for batch resizing, Resize! (http://kstudio.net/re.html) - both will allow you to export to a defined file size (usually an image 800 pixels on its longer size is plenty big enough for the web).

Cheers,
Dan
