SV ILENE’s SAGA INTERRUPTED FOR ALMOST A YEAR BECAUSE OF MY MISPLACED TRUST IN A VENDOR.

[THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL TEST IS THIS POST BUT BELOW IS THE UPDATE] 

This was supposed to be the final post  to ilenrtheboat.blogspot.com:

“Yes, due to increasing technical difficulties with my using Blogspot, the continuing saga of the sailing vessel ILENE will henceforth appear at ILENEtheboat.com. The same name except without blogspot in the middle. The first post is already there. Blogspot was totally free, but my mate, Lene, got tired of hearing me cursing at the laptop (I don't curse at people, except for rubberneckers). And this blog is my hobby so I've spent a few bucks to make it easier for me, and hopefully for you as well.

I'm told that the 730 posts at blogspot will continue to be available to be viewed here, and a banner at the top of the new blog will be advising folks to go to blogspot for descriptions of the events of 2010 to 2020.” 

BUT AFTER ABOUT 40 POSTS UNDER THE NEW TITLE, COVERING ALMOST A YEAR OF SAILING, THE FIRM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING ME GOT MORE AND MORE RAPACIOUS, DEMANDING MORE AND MORE MONEY FROM ME UNTIL I HIT ON MY ONLY REMEDY. I WENT BACK TO ILENETHEBOAT.BLOGSPOT.COM.

FOR ALMOST A YEAR, MY ADVENTURES AND ACTIVITIES, APPROXIMATELY 40 - 50 POSTS, WERE REPORTED AT ILENETHEBOAT.COM.   WHEN I STOPPED PAYING, THEY NOT ONLY STOPPED HELPING BUT THEREAFTER ERASED ALL OF THOSE POSTS. 

I’m sorry for myself and for you my dear readers.
