What a big fish (well, almost)


En route to St Lucia we had the big Rapalla Lure out. It is roughly 20cm long and ment for big fish.
In front of St Vincent we had a bite at around 7knots and a lot of line got pulled out.
It must have been a Barracuda with around 60-80cm length.

Well, we only reeled the head in since a much bigger one has bitten off the rest of our nice Barracuda.
DAMNED!

EDIT:
According to the teeth it was rather a Wahoo head than a Barracuda head :-)

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 :-)
