Anse Mitan



What a small world again! Right in front of us Dreamcatcher dropped anchor. It is Jochen and Claudia and i was supposed to meet with him in Mannheim but it did not work out. They needed 28days for the crossing due to lack of wind.

We had lunch with them yesterday together with Uli and Mike and tomorrow we can use their car for provisioning.


Also i had another ugly toilet job to do.

Like on the starbord side i replaced the lid of the holding tank and hope that the smell is then also gone on this side of the boat.
I had to remove the back wall of the toilet and the windscreen of the window due to stupid construction. GRRRR

Another beautiful caribbean sunset over the bay of Fort de France in Martinique. We also went to the city of Fort du France today but somehow we did not like the atmosphere. People are less friendly than on other islands we have visited and it is also more expensive.
Somehow it is just like France, just that the weather is nicer. Lani was again swimming this morning.

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 :-)
