2016 Trip 2016-03-10

I spent the day preparing for my next passage back to the BVI and have stocked up on fine French cheeses and steaks, requiring several trips to the Carrefour supermarket (which used to be the “Le Grand Marché”) by the Princess Casino. My credit card got to see some extensive use, particularly for the cuts of beef, but in the end I got almost everything I wanted. I made a marinade for some of the steaks and placed them in plastic bags for about an hour before putting the bags into the freezer.

The weather tomorrow looks good, but the day after that looks even better. The big Jeanneau 64 “Serenity” is here in the lagoon and will most likely be heading out to the BVI tomorrow.

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.
