How do we cook on the boat?

How do we cook? This question i got quite often. We have a 3 flame gas cooker on board with 2 camping gaz bottles. They are well known and used in Europe but it might be tricky to get them abroad. They use 30mb pressure and butane gas.
I have all kind of adapters on board and we might have to switch to 50mbar and/or propane, which is not a bigger problem.

1st of August a new bottle was started and now we are tracking how long it will last.
Before crossing the atlantic i will buy a third one as a spare just in case it takes to long to get one of them filled.
The size of the gas container box is very odd, so you can not simply put it a normal butane bottle like they are used for camping.
and you can not just put the gas inside the boat since it is heavier than air and would accumulate in the lower part of the boat and then might lead to an explosion.
But gas is great for cooking and i prefer it over electricity at least hundred times :-)

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 :-)
