Arnd

2015 Trip 2015-05-27

The anchorage at Maho Bay is in the back corner of the big bay and is quite sheltered. The other bays have wakes from the big powerboats and BVI ferries occasionally washing through, and are otherwise a bit more exposed to the elements. I did notice one disadvantage of a very calm mooring in the morning, though. During the night I’d wrapped the mooring pennant around the keel and was lying sideways to the (very light) wind and the only way I could resolve the problem was by releasing the line and then motoring so that I could pick it up again.

I’d picked up some artisan bread the day before and had that for breakfast and along with some roast beef for lunch, and just played unsuccessfully with the fridge and freezer programming for a bit. I did go swimming and snorkeling in the shallow waters of the national park but mainly stayed aboard and bemoaned my imminent departure for colder climes.

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.
