Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-01-20

After Wolfgang made breakfast, we departed for a sail to the Île Tintamarre to the northeast and as it was a light wind day we had full sails out and had to work rather hard to tack upwind to get there, going almost to Anguilla on the northerly tack and misjudging the angle so that we had to put in an extra set of tacks before arriving at our destination. I was lucky in that I managed to set up the boat and pick up a mooring ball solo on my first attempt on this new boat, but I think that luck was involved. Tintamarre was busy, but there were still moorings and space available and we had a tasty lunch and took snapshot after swimming around for a bit. The weather didn’t look just right for sailing onwards to Île Fourchue so we returned to Grand Case for the night – the winds were fickle this day and we ended up motoring the last mile due to insufficient breeze from behind.

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.
