Winter 2011-2012 Trip 2012-03-13

My old hosting company changed their software and the original SV-ZANSHIN.COM site stopped working overnight. Every. Single. Page. So I’m transitioning that site to these pages and they will still contain numerous issues and errors. Please bear with me. I’ve got over 1000 blog diary pages and hundreds of site pages to transition…

I remained at Île Tintamarre today, spending the first three uncomfortable hours replacing the impeller on the generator (again) and then taking a walk with Carmen & Bernd, Sue, Audrey & Darrell into the wilds of island. We did find a recently opened liferaft ashore that had all the emergency items still in the raft (before we departed) and then tried several forays into the gorse and brush and rocks looking for a path through. We did manage to locate the airfield saw some old rusting rotary engines and foundations of what used to be airport buildings but the ladies’ legs were scratched quite badly by the brush so we returned to the boats.
Back aboard I did some cleaning up after my repairs and then a quick dive at the tugboat wreck with the macro lens attachments on the camera and dinner on Mau with the same cast of characters as in the morning.

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.
