Management meeting on LinoCat

Today we sailed LinoCat to Portimao where he was supposed to be hauled out. (That will be another entry in this blog).
It was very windy and the wind was damned cold, so today even though it was sunny everyone was wearing a cap and and a warm jacket.

My brother Andy proofed that these are ideal conditions for a perfect sunburn, especially if you doze off in the sun.

But to the left it is Thomas sleeping in the sun. Now i know hy pillowfenders are called pillowfenders :-)





The Marina de Lagos from the drawbridge. It is a very nice, secure marina. 24h guards and due to the drawbridge noone can steal the boat at night anyway.

Sailing for Jesus Christ

Today the ELIDA V was in the marina. She is 40m long and the mast is 45m high!!! She is built from composite and weighs only 95 tons. With a sail area of more than 800squaremeters she can do 20knots. COOL STUFF The boat is holding groups of young people who believe in Jesus Christ but it does not matter to which church they belong. Typically up to 40 young people are guests and the crew is around 12 to 16 people. The boat is very spartanic inside but built very safe and fast. The big Harken winches are operated by grinders and even the anchor is pulled up with them. This is the meeting room below. It can also be used for company sails. Maybe one day we will have our management meeting there. Here you can see Colin from Californa. He showed us around on the boat. Under http://www2.elida.se/default.asp?id=53 you can read more about this fabolous boat. Roger at the steering wheel. Almost as tall as he is :-) Check my big shoe size 47 against the winches and the traveler :-)
