First day at the races for our crew today; we left the dock in good time and headed to the “Rendezvous” start area.

The winds this week are going to be atypical, dominated by weather systems to our north and south disturbing the typical trade wind flow and giving us SE winds, for which the courses in the book aren’t really suitable – luckily that is not my problem but Stephen’s and Irene’s – although I did garner a dirty look or two for bearing bad news.

Despite the winds our team got the course set and the start line layed in good time to get the racers off to a timely start. As the winds were going to be low and somewhat unpredictable the following day our classes (CSA 7, Bareboat classes 1,2,3 and 4) got to do a second race; and the second set of starts and finishes went off without a hitch.

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.
