We had to fire a crew member


Due to lack of performance we had to fire our good old 5HP 2 stroke Yamaha. The negine was still running nice but in the future we will have longer passages to the boat or beach ot supermarket and we got a brand new Yamaha E15 15HP Enduro 2 stroke engine.
The price was much cheaper than in Europe and this was also the reason we waited until the Caribbean.

The old one got a nice last ride out to the anchorage and then we left it at the dealer and he will sell it for us. We still hope he is finding a good new home!

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 :-)
