Fishing

Of course we are dragging a lure behind. And today at 4knots in 67m depth suddenly there the was the sound of the line getting pulled from the reel. This happens often but usually it is just some seaweed that is caught with the line.

There was no significant pull and so i realled it in with disappointment. When i saw the shimmering silver reflection of a fish under the surface i was amazed.
We killed him quickly and Chris cleaned the fish and then he landed in the fridge.

Either today or tomorrow he will end up in the pan.

That was the first fish this season. That was important since it gave me also reassurance that the lure, line and reel are a good combination.

Sailing for Jesus Christ

Image
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 :-)
