This and that

We have a rental car now and so we can go shopping and get stuff to work on the boat. The new batteries seems to be fine and so far the outback charger never had more than 100V and yes he did throw out 35A for charging. Thats nice.

Today the watermaker was running the first time and it looks good. Now we can produce our own drinking water. Together with the solar panel array this gives us a lot of independency.

The masthead TriColor light (LED) and anchor light is fitted and wired. I just finished the wiring now and tested all. It is 23:00. Who says that this is holiday? I was almost working from 9 to 23.00.

Lani got an nice haircut from Chris and she decided to give "Lu", a small doll a nice bath. Very cute. Whenever she sees water she is totally hyper and wants to jump in.

The bownet got a new rope all around now and we went to Lagos to get some spareparts.
I just pulled a beer out of the fridge and its still 24 Celcius and a very light breeze. So im sitting there, out under the stars having a beer and typing the daily resume. Thats nice

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 :-)
