Summer 2010 Vacation Trip 2010-05-03

Monday, May 03, 2010

It was a wonderful day, I finally switched off and got into sailing mode. Since Björn is scheduled to arrive at 6pm I made a lazy day of it, starting late from the North Sound and sailing slowly down to The Baths (finally got a mooring ball) and after swimming and lazing around there I sailed downwind to Trellis Bay. Unlike last trip, I managed to start it off with a sunburn but hope that it will be limited to this one time. I had quite a few e-mails collected in my inbox upon connecting to the internet and, unfortunately, it seems that Björn’s flight has been delayed due to a broken radio and he doesn’t know if he’ll make his flight to Tortola tonight.
Typically for both Condor airlines and LIAT, he arrived late – but atypically he did arrive with only a 2 hour delay on the flight that he did catch. At about 10:45 he touched down and cleared customs and immigration by quarter past 11 so all was well once he was able to get on “Island Time”

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.
