Unpacking those cases is like a delayed Christmas, I keep on finding things that I’d forgotten I even had and my main salon is knee-deep in stuff from the shipment. So far I’ve put in the spliced genoa traveller lines, the ones for the mainsail are, unfortunately, too short despite being all prepared with eye-splices and whipping. Perhaps it will fit on the Jeanneau 43DS which has a smaller traveller as it would be a shame to let them go to waste. It looks like I can get out of here in the next couple of days as all I need to do is wait for the canvas work to be completed and (of course) for me to stow all the new gear.

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.
