Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-02-05

The wind was howling through the anchorage this morning, so powerful in gusts that I was debating taking down my bimini so that it wouldn’t take damage. While clouds whipped by and rain threatened to pour down I revised my plans to spend the day and night at Tintamarre and opted to stay put and give the Île Créole another try today.
It is now shortly before 15:00 and the sun is out and the winds settled down and I could have given Île Tintamarre a try after all. Oh well, I had one dive and am going to use the same tank for the second one as it really isn’t very deep and this time I am going to choose some formation and sit still until I get some good shots.
Although nothing outward seemed to have changed since the earlier dive, the visibility was terrible and I didn’t bet too many new photos or see anything interesting on the second go around – but I did get to practice bouyancy control and did a bit of work on my patience in waiting for subjects to approach me.
Back aboard the boat was rocking around in the swell quite a bit so I didn’t get to complete the tasks I’d set out to do and ended up going ashore for a small dinner and walking about on Terra Firma before retiring for the evening aboard the boat.

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.
