Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-01-08

Today was a shopping day, most of it in Philipsburg. Rob had travel insurance for his delayed luggage, £300 for the first 48 hours and quite a bit more if the luggage is delayed longer. Thus we all went to the cruise ship shopping street in Philipsburg on the Dutch side and proceeded to replace the toiletries and items of clothing. The airline was not sure when the luggage would arrive, but we were planning on departing for the BVI the next day in any case so the luggage would have to follow us.
After driving around the island and seeing some of the sights we took the boat on a short sail up to Grand Case for the night and went ashore for a wonderful meal before returning to the boat for the night. Even the luggage decided it was time to come – it was delivered to us at the restaurant in Grand Case after the meal and we took it all back in the dinghy with us.

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.
