Google+ hosed my blog 
That sucks man! Sounds like a Google - experience. Write them a letter and see if they can resurrect the files.

ha ha ha I was wondering what happened! I have not done the google+ thing but was sent an invite....but even before that all the images on my blog are on a picasa web album as well. Going ahead I think that you can set privacy controls on that end that would stop people from searching the picasa web albums.

By default, your blog albums are not visible to your Google+ circles so nobody would have seen those albums except you and the folks on your blog (because your blog know the link to the file on Picasa).

I moved my blog to typepad several years ago and lost three years worth of photos. Just going back a couple of months and replacing the photos made me feel much better about the blog. Most of my readers never even noticed the missing photos in the older posts.

Donna -- Good to know! Would have been great to know a week ago!

Maybe I should spend some time uploading the pics again.

Aaron, if I can help you out in someway I'd be happy to. Personally, I treasure the early content on this blog since it brought me here. AND since it is such a good reference for windsurfing launches and conditions in the bay area.

What a major drag. I'm planning on making a book out of my blog some day; I'm going to look into getting a backup made. I was looking at your old blog posts not too long ago, it would be sad if the pictures are gone forever.
