Another ordinary day





We got up a around 7 and had breakfast. The Nutella is empty and so we have to go for a refill to Martinique. That is good since Mike and Ulli will arrive there anyway.

In the morning i brought our gas cylinder for a refill and how they do it is an adventure all by itself. It costed around 7 EUR which is an OK price.
Then we went for shopping which took the almost usual 2 hours and visited Norman "Norm the Storm" from Quebec who docked his yacht near the shopping center since his brother were visiting him. After a short chat we did our shopping and Lani had her nap.

I went to the hardware shop and to Regis electronics and islands waterworld for some "men shopping" and so i got fishing lures and 2 stroke outboard engine oil YEAH :-)

Back on the boat we went for a coffee and a blueberry smoothie for Lani. Then Regis, the electronics company called that i had to visit them with boat papers for customs since the new windvane arrived (warranty exchange).
The customers officer was there and said "Hey big man, you are from linoCat, right?" and i said yeah Mr Customs, you cleared me in and he smiled and stamped the papers. I had to show nothing and he was in a good mood like always. I wish german officials would ever be so friendly.

I cleaned the leaking emergency hatch which had huge salt built up on the rubber. I hope it was only leaking due to that.

In the evening we watched some boats go by in a christmas ceremony and i tried to take some pictures.

Sparke laundry picked up to huge bags of laundry from the boat and we will get it back tomorrow. After picking up the refilled gas cylinder the other one went empty. BUMMER, so i have to go there again tomorrow. Another 2 minute walk. This is work , not holiday! ;-)

It is now getting quiter in the marina and we heard today from John, an australian skipper that in Marigot bay it is only half full now.

Peter, Tina and Chico stopepd by and we decided to have "Flammkuchen" at Christmas on their boat.YUMMY!

On the picture with the big yachts you can see one only partly. It is the Starfire from Kingstown.

I do not like the interior but also the charterprice for a week is a little to high for my liking :-)

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 :-)
