Another one bites the dust


No, not another boat but another lure! We had our last wobbler out and around 30 Min. late the reel ran out and the rod was bending down heavily.
Andi reeled but after a few minutes the fish was gone with our wobbler. The knot at the swivel had opened and this was a factory knot and none of ours!
We were so dissapointed since we wanted to have a Tuna as Sushi.
Anyway, there is a new bread in the oven and potatoes on the stove for a potato salad. For lunch we had cold meat balls and noodle salad since it is to hot to have a warm lunch.
I had a nap from 1600 to 1700 and then we had some coffee with christmas cookies. Now Lani is sitting naked outside playing with water and a bucket and some plastic toys.
We had a nice chat with Robin from the Robinson who is sailing pretty close to us. Sometimes we can see him and sometimes not. Then a Lagoon 500 passed us. She is not participating in the ARC. Mer blu is the name and it is a delivery cruise to St. Marten in the BVI. We chatted with them for around 15 minutes and exchanged our email adress since we took pictures from each other.
They also show the wave height nicely since the Lagoon 500 is really a BIG boat.
My favorite ARC yacht, the Wally 80 Bagheera is now in 1st position. NICE!
Above is a picture from the Lagoon 500 we met.

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 :-)
