MAN over board!!! No, actually TWO! Well almost...







We almost had 2 tragic losses today. One was one of my clark shoes which was kicked over board during a sail maneuver.
We had all sails up and so i pressed the MOB button on the chart plotter, we got the sails down, started the engine and turned around. 15 Minutes later we really found the shoe.
BUT THEN: a bikini top was missing and so we searched again and found it.

This was a good test and really fun too. After that we had a nice swim and a good sail.
We cam back to Portimao and were lucky to get a berth since there is the Audi med cup regatta going on.

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 :-)
