On the morning net VHF call I heard that Laura Dekker was going to exit via the Dutch 9am bridge, so I dinghied past Heinz-Dieter to pick him up and we headed for our paparazzi photo opportunity at the bridge. Upon returning to the boat I was a bit worried, as the big catamaran ahead of me was being inspected by the Dutch and I thought I might be next in line; disappearing in the dinghy right after arrival might set of some warning lights so I waited it out and, fortunately, they departed without stopping by Zanshin for tea. While my papers are in order and I got new fire extinguishers and flares I am fairly certain that they’ll find something that I didn’t think of and ticket me in order to stock up their coffers. Heinz-Dieter and I headed over for dinner aboard Arita, enjoying fine company and a tasty meal. The dangerous combination of wine and copious amounts of food had my eyes closing on me, despite it barely being 9pm

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.
