We are in Clifton, Union island

After a nice Lobster BBQ yesterday evening and a good night sleep we sailed to Clifton on Union Island this morning. The wind was only around 10 knots from behind and since it was only a 4 mile ride we used the Genoa sail only.

So after one hour we dropped anchor in Clifton.
Maybe we will visit "Happy island" a small artificial island, maybe 20m in diameter with a only a bar/restaurant on it.


In Clifton you can also get rid of garbage. We do not give it to boat boys since sometimes they just dump it into the ocean.

The island to the left is a part of the Tobago Cays and the sunset below was taken right before the lobster BBQ on the beach in the channel on the Tobago Cays.

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 :-)
