Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-01-04

Today was another long day; I took care of delivering the super-special-and-impossible-to-get-oil for the VW Engine to a sistership at the docks at Nanny Cay (wonderful name, by the way); then checked out docks and finally paid one open bill to one of the dock contractors and then proceeded to Virgin Gorda in very light winds to clear out of the BVI. That procedure went very well and after visiting the future home of Lauren and Rob (the sailboat Southern Comfort) I subsequently sailed upwind to the North Sound in order to anchor off Leverick bay just in time to catch a couple of minutes of Michael Beans’ show before the squalls hit and the show was postponed. I met up with Nick and Monika and Michael and met a number of new people at the Jumbies bar before retiring for the night.

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.
