The winds shifted a bit and the pretty Oyster anchored upwind of me was probably pretty hard aground in the morning and I heard them rev up the engines and weigh anchor at 06:00. Otherwise it was another office day in the morning until “Araluen”, a Footloose charter catamaran, wrapped the dinghy painter on the port propeller and were trying to maneuver and anchor very close to my boat. In the end I ended up diving on their boat for a bit over an hour to cut away the remnants of the line – the narrow crevice between saildrive and prop made it quite difficult and timeconsuming; I’d brought my hacksaw, needle-nosed pliers and dental picks from Zanshin along and needed them all. I visited Saba Rock again for happy hour this night, after work, and I chatted with Sarah and Paul from Poet Warrior for a long time and too many drinks and a great time!

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.
