I barely left the boat today. I spent the morning hours on the internet and catching up on these blog pages, then did some work on separating my private things from those that belong to the boat, then prepared the new genoa lines but failed when I tried to attach the new lines as it was too windy and the partially unfurled genoa was flapping around so much that it almost lifted me overboard! I’ll postpone that task for a time when there is less wind. I took a dinghy tour of the new mega yacht dock facilities under construction, then got some pictures of the kite surfers and finally ended up towing a fellow cruiser with his dinghy and failing outboard from the centre of the North Sound to his catamaran.

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.
