I had a short day at the office, mainly because I ran out of things to do and couldn’t reach anyone to give me more tasks; and one can’t bill for hours just sitting aboard the boat figuratively twiddling my thumbs; so I closed up the computer for the day and sailed to Great Harbour. I only had the genoa out and was doing quite well against a catamaran with all sails up, but the wind was fickle and weak and soon after they dropped sails and put their engine on I gave my speed a boost with the iron genny as well. My first attempt at anchoring in Great Harbour just dragged my anchor across the hard bottom, but on the second attempt I got a good set and spoke with Jan and Richard regarding having dinner ashore at Corsair’s that night. The clouds were full of Sahara dust, which meant that the light showers left a sandy residue on the boat. We had a tasty meal, as always, and stayed ashore until past 22:00, which made it a late night for typical cruisers!

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.
