Thread: Home Ports

  1. #1

    Home Ports

    I was wondering if another column can be added in the membership list for home ports or even as detailed as marinas/clubs. It would make it easier to identify members that we may have the opportunity to meet in our travels both by boat and by land. It may also make setting locations for rendezvous easier in the future. If you could sort by State, that would be another great feature. I'm not trying to make it easy for people to say, "Hey, he just spent $50K on new electronics and his boat is located at XYZ, so we should get there when it's dark on a weekday", I'm just trying to see if there is an easier way to place the members/owners with the boats that you may pass along the way. Just my $0.02.

    Larry,
    I made mention of this a couple of years ago because like you said it would be nice to be able to "just say Hi" to a fellow HOF'er. I am in Bay City, Mi and I don't think there is any body close to me that's on the forum, but than again I don't know.

    Nothing will help unless all of the spam registrations are cleaned up.

    Seems to me all it would take is to list your home port etc. in your signature.

    Ok, mine is the entire east coast of the United States; does that help? Right now I am in Hollywood FL. On some of the cruising sites people will put "currently laying___") which always sounds like a report from a brood chicken to me.

    Cynicism aside, I do agree it helps a lot if people identify where they are, especially if they are looking for products or services.

    George, Dan and I were just messing around as we've known each other for quite some time now and have spent several days together in person. I've met Larry and Sky in person as well.

    Truth is many don't feel comfortable giving out personal information on the net. I for one don't have a problem with that and have lost track of how many HOF members I've met in person through this forum.

    I think it would be great if everybody would list their first name and their home port in their signatures. In fact, I think it would be great to see members use their personal photographs as their avatars as I've seen on other forums. It's always interesting to put faces on posts.
