Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-03-10

I sat at the navigation table this morning for a good 5 minutes, staring at the galley and putting on my “I’m starving” look but the breakfast didn’t magically cook itself as it had done for the previous 2 weeks. I spent the rest of the day doing chores aboard the boat and getting the laundry done and thinking how odd it was that the winds had died to nothing right after the ladies had left, as if they’d packed it into their baggage. Without the wind it does get a bit warm below decks but at least it still beats the winter temperatures back in Europe.
The only productive work I managed all day was returning the dive gear and getting some shopping done before I had to return the rental car but at least the transportation union’s strike in Trinidad is over as Carib is once again available on the island.

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.
