December 2009 Vacation Trip 2010-01-08

Friday, January 8, 2010

By the time morning came around the heavy swell and crosswinds had settled, but I was still rather groggy with just a couple of hours of very disturbed sleep behind me. The fenders and various lines held up through the night and the weather forecast was much better, but I decided that I’d had enough of life at the docks and headed out of Leverick.
I once again thought that I’d visit The Baths but – how could it be otherwise – the red flags were up once again so I continued down the Sir Francis Drake Channel and into The Bight at Norman Island for my last day/night sailing Zanshin I on this trip. The sail was another nice one with fast segments at over 8 knots and then a long slow one down the channel, but I wasn’t in any hurry and anywhere away from the dock was good enough for me.
I made an early dinner of the final thawed steak aboard the boat and then caught a ride to the Willie T’s bar for a couple of Carib beers before hitching another dinghy ride back and getting a solid night’s sleep.

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.
