San Sebastian


Hi,
first of all, we are NOT in the Sahara Desert, as our position report was showing it. I just mistyped "17" with "11" in the position report before transmitting it. In San Sebastian we met Vicky and Olous again from the "Atmosphere". They are cruising with 2 kids 3 and 5 year old and are now heading for Gambia in Africa. We also met Liz and John from the "Jalan-Jalan" again. After Dinner we all met for some beer and wine and we ended up sitting until midnight even though we had planned to leave early the next morning.
We woke up at 8 and bought fresh bread rolls and then we left and had a nice sail to the south of Teneriffe. We even caught a gold makerel again !YESSSSS! But again we thought the fish was to small and set it free again.

It got rougher at the south and the last 2 hours we had to motor against wind and waves and now we are secured along a big sailinboat in the marina. Well at least that it secure and not bumpy!
Tomorrow Andi, Anja, Nina and Alisa will leave us :-(

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 :-)
