My last sailing day, I headed for Nanny Cay early in the morning, alternating between a nice downwind sail and having to put on the engine for short stretches so that I would make it back to the marina in time. When I arrived I contacted the company that had repaired my generator so that they could install it, but although the had promised to show up at 14:30-ish the owner came by at 18:30 and said that they hadn’t made it, but would definitely show up the next morning in order to get the installation down while the boat was at the dock rather than on the hard. I worked all afternoon at various tasks both below and above decks and got the genoa removed, inspected and then flaked and folded all by myself (with a bit of help from a dock cart), mainly because there was almost no wind in the marina. The lack of wind made outside tasks during the daylight hours tortuous as it felt very hot, so I did much of the inside work in the air-conditioned cabin until dusk. I went to Mulligan’s for dinner and watched part of the England versus France 6 nations rugby game, even though it was a replay and everyone knew that England had won.

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.
