• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

a nice boat ride

I've been there courtesy of the U.S. Navy - major typhoon in the Western Pacific hit Taiwan while my ship was in Kaohsiung harbor. A Japanese freighter sunk in the mouth of the harbor. Fortunately there was enough room to get past. We had to head directly into the growing storm for several hours to get to open sea because turning away while too close to land could cause us to capsize from the ground swells. When we did turn, we had to just angle away bit by bit. This added deep rolling to the pitching we had been experiencing. It was quite a ride. :yikes:

Rode a second one about a year later heading out from Subic Bay in the Philippines. That one wasn't as bad. The first one was a doozy.

Baja Ron's anti-sway bar wouldn't have helped this one. :)
