The winds are not right for a test sail today, so I kept on provisioning and taking care of tasks. The new radar wasn’t connecting to the chart plotter and Jerome worked on that task while I got spares (special oil and coolant for the VW engine at a local dealership) and other assorted parts. I also finally got the print that I’d purchased from Aragorn’s Studio in the BVI framed and picked up the missing SPOT tracker. I had to drive a couple of miles to the Fed Ex facility which was tough as I had to do in a bit of a blizzard and I hadn’t driven on snowy and icy roads in years, but I kept on the road for the most part.

I decided to buy some steaks for the passage across and went to Omaha Steaks to get them, as they sell pre-packaged and frozen steaks of good quality. They weren’t cheap, but did save me the effort of vacuum-packing whatever I would buy at the butcher shop.


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.
