The web site of the Blue Water Rallies. Sea Bunny voyaged from Gibraltar to Fiji with the 2001-3 rally.
The company announced in early 2011 that it was ceasing trading in the wake of the tragic pirating of Quest and the dangers of the red Sea route. However it appears that they intend to run further round the world rallies avoiding the pirate areas in the future. The site is being redeveloped (August 2011).

The newer parts of the site were contructed using Microsoft Expression Web 4 based on the original constructed using Pure SEO CMS.
We stopped using the latter as we wished to expand the structure of the site and the help documentation was insufficient to show us how to do this. Also the program had various instabilities which resulted in the apparent loss of whole pages and necessitated delving into the data files to repair.
Slideshows use the Vertigo SlideShow software running using Silverlight. Slideshow is available as a download from Codeplex. We had some difficulty getting the shows to work on the online site, even though we could view them locally. This was eventually sorted by changing our web host.
