Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-01-15

Today was the last full day aboard the boat for Rob and Nat; we started the day off with a short hop to the Indians where we snorkeled around the rocky pinnacle and saw numerous fish including a turtle, which I didn’t quite catch with my camera. After the snorkeling we headed to Spanish Town on Virgin Gorda to clear out of the BVI and thence to the North Sound for a nice calm anchorage off Prickly Pear island and a big dinner before leaving the North Sound at 8pm and motor sailing to St. Martin. The seas were lumpy and the wind fickle, but it wasn’t the worst passage I’d done and neither Rob nor Nat felt sick.

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.
