Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-01-29

Unlike the previous day, I was up very early at 07:00 (due to a dinghy wake hitting the hull and making a loud slapping noise) and opted for the breakfast at La Sucrière so that I could connect to the internet and finally load my Kindle® with some free books.
Back on board I attacked the task of getting the Bauer dive compressor to start up without blowing out the Victron inverter/charger. It turned out that the DIP-Switch settings were inappropriate and set to only allow 11A instead of the 40-50 that the system could actually deliver and once I had that set up correctly the dive compressor ran without any problems at all.
Just as I’d finished up putting the boat back together Heinz-Dieter and Hafida came by to say hello and check out the new boat.

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.
