Hi Alan,

Thanks for the feedback though I'm 99.9% certain the link to the registry is
working. On the menu on the first page under BBS, clicking there should take
you to the main BBS. The Registry is the first forum on the top.

I do have a listing from last year. My goal is to build a table in mySQL to
provide for users to add/remove their own information. The current BBS
method allows users to post info along with a photo or two, but it's not
adequate for a full blown database.

The database should be fairly easy to put together as soon as I get around
to it.

Cheers,

The link to the registry was not working - but, I do have one
important comment - which is to have a way to include prior boat
names and owners of a particular boat.

And, it might be possible to include boat names from the past (years
of the Baba list) to seek to indentify all the boats.

But, to do this, we need a way to include the information in a database.

One way to do this in flat file would be to have a checkoff field for
"current owner". One could then see the list, sorted by hull name,
with all former owners and boat names, or with just the current information.

It might even be possible to grab information from the Coast Guard
documentation center for all Baba's - I assume this is available
pursuant to a FOIA request.

Alan
