2016 Trip 2016-04-18

I dinghied from Friar’s Bay into the lagoon today, luckily the winds were light and it wasn’t too bad on that long, long trip. My first step was to clear out of St. Martin at the French side Island Waterworld, then I zipped over to the airport and walked to the freight area to pick up my repaired Weems and Plath ship clock and from there I headed across to complete my purchases and Budget Marine and other stores, meeting with Cindy and Derek from Aravilla and catching up on experiences and stories at Lagoonies. After that I headed to Friar’s Bay again; but the winds had picked up a bit and I also got caught in a small shower on the way. I got my sails up and made it Île Fourchue before dark – unfortunately a north swell had set in and the afternoon and night was a bit rolly.

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.
