Chapter XXI: ‘When the owner boards his vessel the following week-end he finds his sails covered with tiny specks of mildew which nothing will ever take out. He may improve their appearance by rubbing in French chalk, as some do, but the mildew fiend is still there doing its deadly work.’

Gavin – now that you have you pictures back (congratulations on that, by the way – I hope it didn't cost tooooo much) can we have some more on Beale Park, for those of us who might have been unable to go, dammit?

Recovering the data was pretty cheap – but it took some time to work out the solution.
I'd like to share the secret of how I did it in case readers ever make a similar blunder and need to know.
The key thing is to download a free software sponsored by someone called Convar: <a href="http://www.pcinspector.de/smart_media_recovery/uk/welcome.htm” target=”_blank”>http://www.pcinspector.de/smart_media_recovery/uk/welcome.htm
It worked very well for me, and there's also a sister sponsored product that recovers hard disks.
In my case I also needed a memory card reader because my Fuji camera would not allow my PC to treat my camera as a mass memory device. It cost about £7, but I'm sure many people would be able to get away without buying the reader.
On the pictures themselves, I'm planning to put many of them up over the coming weeks – so visit often and please use the ads that help to keep intheboatshed.net solvent!
