December 2009 Vacation Trip 2010-12-23

We motored straight into the wind from Great Harbour to Soper’s Hole, where we went ashore to do a bit of shopping at the supermarket before continuing on to The Bight on Norman Island via some nice snorkeling around the Indians. The sail in the channel was another comfortable but fast one with averages above 7 and peaks of 9 knots despite 3 reefs in the mainsail.
We started happy hour a bit early but somehow both Carmen and Bernd volunteered to help me wash the topsides of Zanshin I with the Awl Wash solution that I had purchased but never used. We chose a good point in time since the winds were almost nonexistent and there was no swell or barely even ripples in the Bight and we made very good progress. Dinner was at Pirates and all of us chose their Ribs and they did indeed almost fall of the bone. After dinner we motored over to the Willies T’s and had a couple of drinks, but it was about 9:30 and the night had barely begun there – yet I for one could barely keep my eyes open so we left quickly.

Original hosting provider breaks my old website

My old hosting company, who will remain unnamed although their name starts with “go” and the end rhymes with “baddy”, changed their software with little notice and the original SV-ZANSHIN.COM site stopped working overnight.

Every. Single. Page.

So I’ve transitioned to another provider. These original pages have been migrated, but all the formatting and other features are gone and the will still contain numerous display issues and formatting anomalies.

The manual effort of conversion is too much and not worth the effort involved. Over 1000 blog diary pages like this one are going to remain in this condition. The pictures are full-scale, but won’t expand when clicked. But you can can copy them to view them in their original splendour.
