Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-01-26

As we’d anchored far out in Marigot because the inner harbour was rather crowded we paid the price and were exposed to the big swell and winds and neither of us had a great night’s sleep (somewhat understated, as Wolfgang didn’t sleep after 2am and while I got more, it wasn’t deep sleep) and we were glad to get to land for breakfast at La Sucrière. Upon return to the boat I spied a charter sailboat weighing anchor and immediately set about getting their inner spot, much to the relief of Wolfgang who was worried about getting ashore without a dunking. I’ll also rest easier tonight, as well.
Although we had a tense 30 minutes waiting for the traffic jam after the 11:30am bridge opening to clear, we made it to the airport in good time for Wolfgang to catch his multi-leg and lengthy set of flights back to Germany and I was suddenly alone again aboard Zanshin.
I spent most of the afternoon aboard doing a lot of nothing but then pulled my act together and did some cleaning until finally it was time to make dinner on the BBQ and retire early.

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.
