The motto of today’s morning dive was “All I got were these lousy 4 pictures” – I went to the shallow reef dive spot here in Grand Case which is quite a long way out and marked only with a small white bouy but once in the water I realized that there was a big surge, even at 20-30 feet, and that the visibility was down and the surge made going close to the bottom difficult. Nevertheless I snapped merrily away with the camera but in the end I deleted all but 4 pictures and I’m posting them as “filler” content despite their lack of quality.
After going ashore for a bit I returned to the boat but noticed a blue silhouette in the anchorage that looking hauntingly familiar and I headed out there to investigate and, yes indeed, the old Zanshin I, renamed “Miriam’s Star” was there! What a small world it can be!

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.
