Last day of 2009






Hi there on the last day of the year. We all went by Dinghy to town this morning and bought some food and some stuff for Lani. Then we played around with the kite aerial photogrpahy but the wind was to unsteady and so we did not play around enough for good pictures. Maybe the next try on the Tobago Cays is more efficient. Tonight we will be 12 people going out to "Gingerbread", a local restaurant for dinner and then to "Frangipani" for the party. And we are celebrating new year 5 hours after for example Germany.

I checked engine oil today and pumped out some water from the stern shower out of the portside engine room. When checking the tension of the steel cable for the steering i had the feeling it might be to tight and so i will loosen it a bit the next days without giving it to much play (hopefully).
Our watermaker produced around 90Liter of water today and the solar panels delivered almost 200Ah.
Enough for 2 fridges and the lights and music plus the watermaker.

Life is good to us on the last day of the year!

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 :-)
