The site is officially back on line. It has been a difficult few months making the transition from the old Bates website to this new responsive format. Not everything has made the transition yet, and we still have a lot of work to do, but at least we are back in business. For all of you that have had trouble over the last few months logging in or registering, or receiving email updates from the site, I apologize. The scope of the upgrade was not anticpated, and problems occurred during the upgrade that set us back to square one multiple times.
Hopefully that is behind us. My goal was to ensure that all information on the old site could be transferred to the new site, and so far we are still on track to accomplish that goal. We have transferred this P.O.D, FAQs, Web Links, the Scuttlebutt, Sea Stories, Photo Galleries, Honors and Reunions in addition to all the original user data that is the heart of the website.
Much more remains. We have not yet moved the Master Sailing List, Tracking Party, the Crew Gallery, the 1MC, and the commenting system, so there is enough to keep me busy for a while.
In the meantime, enjoy what's here, especially the new format that is now accessible from your smart phone and tablet devices as well as your laptop or desktop.
Pretend the site is in drydock. Most everything is functioning, but there is a major overhaul going on.
You'll want to eat somewhere else, and watch out for open deckplates!
