Still anchoring in Valle Gran Rey, La Gomera, Canary islands


You feel a little bit like a hippie anchoring here. There is no real urge to move forward or do anything specific.
You enjoy the sun, swim, dozing in the shade, sun bathing, eating and drinking. Playing cards in the evening and go to bed early.
So why move on? Anyway we started to think about either San Sebastian or go back to Tenerife to the other side of the island maybe.
my parents stay almost another week so there is still plenty of time left. Today i snorkeled to the beach and where it is rocky there are some fishes. I was in the middle of some sardines and they enjoyed swimming around me. I was wondering if these were hippie sardines searching for something to smoke near the beach. There is a kind of finca like farm which once was an Osho ashram, so we almost felt like back in Pune.
The solarpanels have already generated 120Ah of power and we used that to poduce around 100liter of freshwater and to recharge the batteries. Yesterday we went to a restaurant called Trasmallo and had a Tuna steak from the grill with red and green Mojo sauce and potatoes canary style. I will go for another swim now and enjoy the sun and the 30 degrees Celcius we have today since my 2hour afternoon nap is just over :-)

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 :-)
