<div>I have been a Morgan 383 owner for just one season and have
fallen in love with the sleek lines and overall quality of the
Morgan boats. It's a real head turner at the marina in sleepy
Kenosha, WI. My boat, like all previously owned water craft,
needs a little tender love and care to keep them fresh and
seaworthy. I posted some photos of "Sea Ya'll" on the web at
www.digiact.com/morgan2 in order to show off the newly installed
ports that I replaced this first season. This season it will be
a below deck autopilot (ST6000) and I plan to offer a full photo
expose of that exercise as well. I may be installing it in the
boat yard if we don't get some water in Lake Michigan, however.The current pictures on our site are a great start but a photo
dialog like the rudder modification article and the autopilot
installation completed by Rich Jamieson was a great help with
understanding and seeing what was actually being done. I plan to
document the autopilot installation I'm doing with pictures. I
regret that I didn't do that with the NFM port installation
because it would have provided the owners who are currently
performing that update with some visual clues.With the advent of scanners and digital cameras I believe it's
time we add more visual content to our site. I am an avid
photographer (digital & film) and would like to volunteer to
create (and maintain) a web ablum of our member vessels for all
to see. I have all the cameras, scanners, web authoring tools,
and even a website I own to store them on. So how about it. If
you want me to post your favorite Morgan picture(s) on the web
just send it me print, slide, negative, or photo image via E-
mail (along with some decriptive words) and I will scan it and
add it to a web page for all to see. If you want it returned
send along a SASE and I will get it right back to you. I would
like, if possible, to include interior shots as well to give
others ideas on what decorating (or refurbishing) activities you
may have completed.I would appreciate your feedback,Alan Tigner

<div>Alan. This is a great idea. I have collected many old ad pictures and articles on the Morgans 382 series and would like to do the same. I can't promise when, but will send you a packet of "stuff" when I get a chance. Because Lenny is currently the Webmaster he should be consulted. If he duesn't respond to this posting, we should make an effort to keep him in the loop.--Jay--

<div>Alan: Wonderful!! Yes, Keep Lenny in the Loop.
It will be of great help to have pictures of interior, installations, etc.
I have been trying to figure out/engineer the installation of an anchor roller, and it would be of great help to see how other people have done it.By the way sailed Sat. (with main only, see previous post)had a nice day. Lifesong moved amazing well. The experience was heightened with the addition of two 14yr old Sea Scouts, who were just elated that I "let them" scrub the decks!!! Fair Winds & Rum Drinks, Tom</div>
 
<div>We have our first submission!! Tom Pinkston and "Lifesong" are online. Let's start sending those pictures in so you can show off your passion. I'll add as many as you want to do your boat justice. This is the quick and dirty version that I will improve over time. I plan to scan the Morgan logo and add it to the heading. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
