Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-01-19

Today’s weather was much better than the day before and after going ashore to clear out (it turns out we don’t need to clear out of St. Martin for St. Barths, but do need to clear in there) and have breakfast, we prepared the boat for Wolfgang’s first sail. The wind conditions were light and the swell was down so the sail was a calm one with no stress as we tacked upwind in order to reach our destination, Anse Marcel. After we finally reached that anchorage and proceeded to drop anchor we realized that the swell was sideways to the boat and quite uncomfortable so we weighed anchor again and sailed back downwind to Grand Case, where we’d stopped for a quick lunch earlier in the day. Instead of making our steaks aboard we opted to sample the fine cuisine ashore and had a tasty dinner along the main strip prior to heading back to the boat for postprandial drinks and a deep sleep.

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.
