2013 Trip 2013-01-30

I have atrophied office-muscles and soft office-hands, at least I think I do underneath the blisters and from the sharp throbbing pain in just about every muscle. To round off the sensations, my skin now has a nice pink tone as well despite staying in the shade and using SPF30; the slight burn is just from walking up and down the docks.
Zanshin is now back in the water and I had the help of two yard workers to help me dock the boat as I wasn’t feeling up to the task of doing it alone in the rather strong breeze coming through the marina. With 3 people aboard docking was a very simple task but I’m glad I had help.
While I’ve got a dock space I don’t have shore power, I bought the connectors and a cable but hadn’t made them up yet, and the cable is buried underneath the dinghy garage which still has the dinghy and outboard inside; that task will have to wait until the sun is hidden. I’ve got the hotel room for the night so shore power can wait until tomorrow.
I went to the shore bar at Peg Leg’s restaurant for some drinks and dinner but was rather groggy from the efforts during the day and had a very early evening.

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.
