Less than 400NM to go



And we are running out of lures! A really big one now even stole our modified lure. We have exchanged the thin pre-line against a 80lbs one. But he was a good fighter and within 20 minutes he bit through the line. We need steel pre-lines for the Atlantic!
Also we are running out of soft drinks tonight but there are around 10 beers left :-) Tomorrow i get the trans atlantic hair cut and it is also shower day.
We might not be able to make it for the 9th since at night we bring the Parasailor down if there are to many rain clouds on the radar.
Then it would be the 10th early in the morning. But so what... We will get our rum punch form sure!

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 :-)
