Ah, in that case no. He/her/them is perfectly happy with the spacing.
Now if they were brown or green. Then another matter!

I use a free photo hosting site Postimage.org
Before I used it all my photos were sideways ?

Almost certainly it is the EXIF meta data that is stored within the image file.For whatever reason every photo I try to post ends up sideways except a few……..too tiresome. Bouba how do you manage to sort it?

You are probably using a mobile phone to take the pic so the camera knows what it thinks is the correct way up for the photo and puts that into the EXIF data within the file.
My Samsung Android seems to get it right and my photos are displayed on my computer correctly.
They then upload onto this forum in the correct orientation.
I don't use Postimage - most of the time, I use the "Insert Image" button but I also host my own images on my own internet server for more complex posts/threads.
Maybe you are using an iPhone which is getting the EXIF data wrong (well, at least getting the EXIF data different to my Samsung Android)
But we all know that this forum uses some really strange software with some stupid limitations.
Most people fail when trying to upload photos to this forum.
If you click the "Insert Image" button, it will fail - that because they don't allow full resolution photos with this method.
When I post images on this forum, I reduce the image size to 800x600 and then they upload every time.
Crackpot implementation IMO - whats the point of having a simple upload facility if it can't be used simply!!
There are other stupid limitations as well - like only 10 images per post - thats a real PIA if you are writing an interesting report.
OK, this doesn't answer your image rotation issue but it gave me the opportunity to have a rant about poorly implemented software.

Thanks. Postimage definitely works better and seems more intuitive to me. Couple of photos to practice. Spent 5 weeks in the Ionians. Fabulous trip and thanks to the forum report from Hardmy. Truly stunning boating and not so crowded as expected, especially if you are self sufficient.
Bouba how do you convert the pictures into full size as you get?

Yeah, we saw that Mike, there was also a small road bridge down there somewhere, as I recall.
Had some fun this trip out in the bay, just setting the anchor, blip in tick over in reverse to dig in, forgot we were towing the dinghy, next thing the crew observed it approaching the stern at a rate of knots, fortunately, I had stopped the engines. It did cut the tow rope though! Quick blip forward unwrapped it and only a couple of dives with a knife to cut the bit wrapped around the prop - phew!
Note to self - invest in a good floating line at SIBS if towing the dinghy in future....

Yep - we walked down there when it was empty.
Anchoring
My technique isn't to leave the engines in tick over - just a little "tickle" to get the momentum of the boat running backwards.
If you leave them running, you will pull the anchor out.
Probably OK in the Lagoon because it is a sticky muddy bottom but in sand you need to be more careful.
I always say that you could use a frying pan to hold a boat in our lagoon!!
Floating rope/painter for the tender.
Usually these are made from Polypropylene.
Be careful I had one on ours and when we were in Es Trenc a few years ago, we had some swell overnight.
I usually have a backup rope when I tie the tender and in this occasion, I was glad I did.
The main floating painter had rubbed right through - It was the kind of thing you would use for a ski line.
Actually, I usually put the tender on the bathing platform overnight so that we can make a quick "get away" if we need to - I don't know why I didn't in that case.
This is the stuff that I used to use - I think I bought it from a swindlery in Alcudia - but as I say, be careful.
Unlike this floating rope that I use to tie the boat back to the rocks.
BTW
I've now booked flights out for end of this month through most of October.
Maybe see you then.
I was thinking of, perhaps, a raft party??

This is a little bay in Paxos we squeezed into. 3 to 4m around the boat
