Rain

It is raining cats and dogs here. Lanzarote is in sight. It is the island of the Canaries with the least rain. Well most likely not today :-)
Or did our Indian colleagues send the monsoon over to Spain?
Wind was coming from the south east, where we are heading to with up to 20 knots. This slowed us down to 4 knots. Now the wind has turned and is coming from N-NE but only with 8 knots. The sea is rough because the wind sea is coming from another direction than the Atlantic swell adding up to a strange pattern.
A fish bit on the lure again and reeled of probably 50m and then spit it out again.
So no Sushi today.

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 :-)
