The ability to attach photo's for free is the #1 best way to build a website. It encourages a community feel and allows the members to "know" each other better. I always thought it was a HUGE mistake when OSO started charging to post. It wasn't the money, I think the feeling was it was the principal of it. The defragmentation of the site with various members splitting off doing their own websites, the sale to IB and then the charging of the members was the perfect storm that I think really began the downfall of this website. This is a grand step in the right direction to bringing it back to what it once was. The new look and feel is great. Thank you IB and the mods (for I'm sure your input led us to these positive changes).

Now for a photo test. Jason Johnson of Speed On The Water Magazine emailed me this pic yesterday. It was his first ever ride in an Offshore powerboat and we went out in 6+ foot seas for a lunch run up the pacific coast and the ride was a "bit" bumpy that day LOL. Surprised he ever wanted to head out again, though he was taking this pic of us from a 42 Tiger with 6's so he was doing ok I suppose.

so far, so good...

Thanks, I think I now have PTSD.........

Those two cops on the left must have some amazing photo/video.

Since we're all testing out this awesome "New Look" for OSO and the great new free format for posting pics, I thought I would share a big moment for my son... I was so proud of him for winning an award for perfect attendance in 5th grade. Here he is, getting the award from his teacher...
