As befits a day where the whole year is still ahead, I took it easy. While I woke up early, I didn’t really get much accomplished and by 11am I was certain that I’d stay here for the day since the winds and waves were still high. So once again I attacked the bilges to get the last remnants of diesel out. When the boat behind me left I decided to let out a bit more chain (only about 20 feet or so) but then realized that I might be infringing upon the anchor space of another boat behind me, so I dinghied over to explain what I’d done. The crew, Rob and Lauren, were aboard Arita and invited me aboard. Before I knew it, I was wolfing down a fresh and tasty BLT and we were planning on exchanging software and movies and half the afternoon had gone by.

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.
