My final day in the BVI was a busy one, with lots of small tasks aboard Zanshin I to complete ranging from cleaning out and defrosting the fridge to cleaning the bilges and storing the dodger and Bimini. I finished those tasks by noon and them put the boat into the Nanny Cay haul out pit so that Zanshin I could be hauled first thing on Monday morning. My flight was scheduled for 5pm, so I arranged to get to Beef Island airport at 3pm and (how could things be different with LIAT) the flight didn’t leave until after 6pm. I had taken Carmen and Bernd’s recommendation for the Halcyon Cove hotel in Antigua and was well pleased with that choice, the only problem was that the air conditioning in the room was turned on and the remote was missing so I couldn’t turn it off or raise the freezing room temperature by any means other than opening the windows and patio doors..

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.
