Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-02-15

Although the boat is still rocking around enough to making walking a bit difficult aboard, the weather has settled sufficiently to make staying here another night worthwhile after all. I am going to do some tasks aboard the boat and try one more dive at Créole Rock to test out my fancy new wetsuit and then I’ll get a bit of provisions ashore before heading to St. Barths for a couple of days.
The wetsuit worked just fine, although I do need to put in a pound or two more lead weights so that I’m not as bouyant. The conditions at Créole rock were not particularly good as the visibility was bad due to the previous day’s heavy wave action, but a couple of fish did come out and I had the macro lens attachment so I took some snaps that were worth keeping.
Despit the previous dive’s visibility issues, I tried a second dive and put the 2nd macro screw-on lens onto the camera, thus I have s 2x and a 4x (which is either 6x or 8x, depending upon whether they are additive or multiplicative) and the camera housing is currently drying out so I won’t know if any of the pictures turned out until later.
Some of the pictures turned out and have been added to the page. I took the camera ashore later for dinne and walking around town, but neglected to take any shots, so today’s collection is 100% underwater.

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.
