2016 Trip 2016-03-24

I motored across to Leverick Bay and took a mooring so that I could do a bit of provisioning and walking around plus use the internet connection to upload the collected pictures and blog entries to the website. The chop was up a bit, but the big winds weren’t scheduled to arrive until this evening and I wanted to be sure to have a good anchor set in the lee of Prickly Pear to escape the worst of the weather and there was no way I’d trust a mooring with those gusty winds and my heavy boat.

I’d e-mail with Kristine and Doug and knew that they would be arriving at Leverick shortly, I really wanted to visit with them and see their new yacht; but by the time I was ready to leave the mooring they hadn’t arrived. I worked below decks on updating the web pages and sometime in the afternoon I had a knock on the hull and they arrived, with two friends, and got a tour of Zanshin and a promise to reciprocate on the morrow when I could look at Dharma at the Leverick dock before we all went up the hill to “Hog Heaven”, which I have yet to visit.

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.
