St Lucia to St Vincent

To the left you see "Barbie", a cute motor yacht which also available for charter. If i am not wrong the price would be around 250.000 USD for a week but hey, you can bring a dozen of friends too!


Then i liked the sunset today, it was very clear and the clouds were above the water level, so the sun was really an orange ball sinking into the water around 17.45. Yes, it is getting dark here fairly early. The approach to Blue Lagoon in St Vincent was around 19.30 so it was dark but the moon gave some light. In the bay 3 out of 4 buoys were unlit! So be prepared when sailing in the Caribbean. Also the entrance of the lagoon did not match with the elecronic chart but we all know that this might happen. A good old 12V beam search light helped us to find the entrance which is as shallow as 2m and then we reached deeper water and are now currently docked at the Sunsail dock. There is a lot of swell and the dock is squeeking and moving back and foreward and also up and down but it is secure and that is good. The "La Medianoche" of Ralph and Inge is already anchoring near by and so we will try to contact them tomorrow. Let´s see when the Vanora will arrive.
I heard from the "Thule" that already more than 200 boats are in Admirality Bay on Bequia for New Year celebrations on the beach so i assume it will be a nice party.


We had Spaghetti with Tomatosauce and green salad for dinner together with some Heineken (Piton beer supply is out) and Little Penguin shiraz red wine from Australia.
YUMMY.

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 :-)
