Alcohol on board


I want to bring up the issue of alcohol on board. When i saw some of the boat provisioning themselves i was wondering if they want to get drunk each day. In my opinion alcohol has to be limited by own will and responsibilty and if this does not work by the skipper himself. We bought 2 cans of beer per day, so one each for Andi and myself and about 8 bottles of wine but also because it is said to be much more expensive in St Lucia and they had a good Rioja in Spain.
We have consumed nil of our beer or wine since the start but we might have a beer this evening with the indian fish curry. We just caught 2 more Mahi Mahi with 70cm but we are now going for Tuna so we both set them free again.
We are now at 20.17N and 28.25W doing 7knots on course 250.

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 :-)
