Half distance


This mornings sunrise was special since we now have covered half the distance. Nominal it is 2700 nautical miles to St. Lucia and we now only have 1350 to go.In reality we have a bit more since we did not sail a direct course so far.We had the Mahi Mahi filets for dinner yesterday but it was just to much. This fish would have been enough for 8 people. Good that we set the other one free. The self baked bread is still good after three days and we had it for breakfast.We also put the Parasailor back up after a slow ride over night with around 5 knots. Now we do between 7 and 8 again.
Will come back later with more.

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 :-)
