Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-01-16

Today was departure day for Rob and Nat; we’d made quite good time on crossing from the BVI to St. Martin and arrived just after 8am, anchoring next to Bernd and Carmen outside of Marigot for a bit while Nat and Rob finished packing their things and did some cleaning up of the cabin. Instead of a long and wet dinghy ride to the airport they opted for a short and comfortable cab ride and I waved them off – glad that I didn’t have a set of long flights in overfilled aircraft and uncomfortable seats ahead of me. I returned to the boat and proceed with some of the standard boating tasks – laundry, a bit of cleaning in preparation for Wolfgang, making water and resting up after the overnight passage.

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.
