Today was a slow day, with weather not conducive to sailing of any sort we stayed at anchor and performed some chores aboard the boat. Carmen and Bernd found that the aft head wasn’t flushing correctly, so we proceeded to get out the spare maintenance kit for the toilet and take it apart. It turns out that cleaning and reinstallation was enough to get it working again. I went ahead and put the Froli bed together – that was like a little Lego set and I ran out of pieces before I finished so had to re-align and re-space everything, but in the end it worked out well and I’ll find out tonight if it makes a difference in comfort.
We went ashore for dinner at Saba Rock and their buffet was excellent and was a great value.

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.
