Winter 2010-2011 Vacation Trip 2011-02-10

The wind blasted through the anchorage last night, it was by far the windiest evening I’ve had here, but WindGuru shows promising weather coming up in the next couple of days so I’m optimistic about getting on for ports unknown. Even though this anchorage is beautiful and idyllic my boat wants to get going again and put some miles under her keel. I did some more work and chores aboard today and otherwise just spent the time lazing around and going swimming. I did finish cleaning and waxing the fibreglass on the aft wheel area and tried a new metal cleaning product called Prism Polish, which seems to have worked quite well in making the stainless shiny but time will tell if it actually protects it from rusting in spots again in the near future. I had an early dinner and then my neighbours came over and we had some drinks and cheese and crackers and watched a thriller movie called Taken on my DVD and TV screen (which fortunately worked flawlessly).

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.
