Anse Mitan, Martinique


This is the ferry dock at Anse Mitan. You can use it as a Dinghy dock on the side which the ferry is NOT using :-)

The anchorage is in the background. In the Doyle cruising handbook a marina dock is mentioned but it is destroyed since some years. So to clear in you have to use the Dinghy or walk to the Marina near by.

The supermarket in the marina is extremly "basic" and people in the marina seem to be bored and uninterested.


A house in creolic style. They look nice and colorful. Near by there is a fruit store which is well sorted and has good salads and spices.














A typical palmtree for this area.

Two monsters have been spotted on this beach recently:



We are sad that Mike and Uli left us this evening since we had a great time with them.

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 :-)
