2013 Trip 2013-03-22

Island time caught up with me today, I had no energy to do anything much and spent some time using my internet access to surf the web, do some online banking and paperwork and then read topsides for a while. There was little wind so it was quite hot aboard the boat today, a true tropical heat. I did some work on the dinghy mounts and got them to move a little bit, about 1/8th of a turn and then put some more PB-Blaster on them in the hopes that it would soak in overnight. I didn’t dive the hull to clean crud off and put on the new propeller shaft zincs because I couldn’t find the energy to put on the diving gear – that shows you how lazy a day it was.
I did get a recommendation for a nice restaurant for dinner, so I changed my cooking plans and went ashore, showered but not shaved and realized that it was Friday night and the village was rocking – the one bar/nightclub was overflowing to the street. I joined in a for a bit, then ate at “Ti Kaz La”, enjoying a fine Steack Tartar à la Italienne which I rarely trust restaurants to prepare correctly. Back aboard I finished watching the movie that I’d started a week earlier, tried (unsuccessfully) to identify constellations with the help of a PDF downloaded star chart, then fell asleep.

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.
