2015 Trip 2015-05-04

Most of the day was spent at the computer, using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop on the pictures from the regatta. I alternated this work inside the cabin with some fridge defrosting, as the layer of ice and rime on the evaporator plate was very thick and was certainly causing my fridge compressor to run overtime and use more energy than necessary. Once the fridge was clean and re-stocked, I went ashore on Green Island and cleaned the dingy bottom using mother nature’s sandpaper and a kitchen scrubber. While I let it dry to ensure that the offending growth was well and truly removed I walked around the area and viewed the kite surfers doing their thing out in the protected waters of the bay.

Dinner was once again a thawed-out and marinated steak, this time a nice T-Bone purchased on St. Martin at Cost-U-Less; the meat quality was excellent and I also tried making the frozen corn-on-the-cob on the BBQ (it was tasty, but a bit soggy. I’ll have to do better next 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.
