Winter 2010-2011 Vacation Trip 2011-02-07

Rob picked me up shortly before 9AM and I took the car back to AVIS at the cruise ship dock, picking up a solitary hitchhiker on the way. After fuelling up and returning the rental, I got a lift from their van to about halfway and then ended up having no luck getting picked up (note to self – get a shave) and walked the whole mountainous stretch back to White House Bay, returning to the dock sometime before noon. The wind and waves on the windward side were still very high so I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere for a day or two and it is time to get some work done aboard the boat.
The beautiful mega yacht Talitha G is anchored outside the bay, I’ll have to see if I can get a picture of her classic lines (she was built in 1929). I did encounter one of her crew members twice this morning, she passed me jogging away from the boat and later, as I was almost at the dinghy dinghy, jogged by me again and she certainly wasn’t 82 years old! Dinner was Mexican tonight with some very spicy rocket salad and that was so filling that it put me to sleep at an early hour.

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.
