IBoat NorthWest History

[SomeSailor]

I just wanted to take a few minutes and flash back through some quick history of IBoatNW. Share a few dates and soime pics. I'll add more as they come to me.

We're officially 6 years old today. The original IBoatnw.org website was started on October 6, 2002.

Maybe some key dates and names would be appropriate:

Thanks!

Can you add them to the Gallery as well?

GALLERY LINK (http://www.iboatnw.com/gallery/v/Cruises/Lopez/)

I've been uploading what I come across here at home when I get the time. I'd hate to lose track of any of these. They were fun times.

It's like old home movies. :D

I can't seem to upload off my puter or off my website to update these and to upload the 2005 4th July cruise to FH. WIll check back after din din. Too frustrated now...

[SomeSailor]

Lemme know if it gives you more problems.

[Go Aweigh2452]

OK got in and uploaded both missing cruises. I edited your post to reflect all cruises...

[SomeSailor]

Thanks Doug!

If anyone else has some pictures of previous outtings or Club Gatherings, feel free to upload them into the Gallery. As you can see, there are lots of them, and lots of good time to go through.

Thanks Again Everyone!
