I got going early in the morning and fired up the generator in order to charge the batteries, make water (not a good idea, as the filters clogged immediately) and so that I could have power to do a load of laundry, wash the dishes and do a quick vacuuming of the living areas on the boat. At around noon I headed out to Barnacle’s to use their internet to see if the Air France flight was on-time and to rent a car. The flight was indeed still scheduled to arrive on-time but after walking to three rental car agencies in the vicinity of Barnacle’s to find out that they had no cars available I gave up on that idea and had a salad for lunch and subsequently walked to the airport as I had lots of time. I started walking in the shade but soon those clouds blew or burned away and I was in the full Caribbean sunshine for the rest of the walk but it was good to get some exercise despite arriving at the airport a bit sweaty.
Desi and Agathe arrived in time and with their luggage which surprised me a bit considering the short stopover time that they had in Paris and we took a cab back to the dinghy but didn’t go aboard as we’d decided to have a happy hour drink or two at the bar. Several hours later we proceeded to the boat, deposited the luggage and returned for a great dinner of Ribs and burgers before retiring at about 22:00 for an early night.

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.
