Arnd

Today was “Splash Day” and after Zanshin was put into the water and I was ready to head to my dock slot it turn out that the engine didn’t want to start (again). In the end I started the generator to charge the starter battery and used the engine pre-heater to warm up the diesel block and then the engine fired up with barely a wisp of white smoke.

Then it was yet another day of activity aboard the boat cleaning up after the mice and preparing for heading out – but at the end of a strenuous day I was ready for a shower and clean-up then off to the “Elm” in Cane Garden Bay to listen to the Elmtones and enjoy a night with Candace and Malcolm plus whomever would show up at Malcolm’s reserved front-row table. I had the ribs which somehow disappeared into my hungry maw at speed and a couple of beers which put me in a very tired frame of mind and I didn’t last until the end of the second set before returning back to my room for a night’s sleep with the ocean surf crashing in the background.

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.
