Again Rodney bay


Many people asked me about our solar panels and controller and how much power we get out of them.
The max A we see here in the Caribbean is around 46A during midday.

The total of power added to the housebank is around 180 to 200Ah per day. That covers producing 125Liters of water, run 2 PC and the radio and the lights like cabin, saloon and mooring light (all LED).

And this is without tilting the solar panels. If you tilt them towards the sun you might get almost 70% more but it is not easily possible in our installation.

In Rodney bay we did some shopping and met with our friends from Vanora for coffee and then we went out for dinner to a Thai restaurant called KuDeTa and the food was very good.

The water in the aby was very clear like we had not seen it before. Today we will clear out and sail to martinique together with the Vanora.

We will nachor in St. Anne since we have never been there so far and then proceed to Le Marin for washing the boat and renting a car to go to Fort de France.

The sunsets in Rodney Bay are often beautiful and after the last weeks sunsets have often been behind clouds we now could see the sun sinking into the ocean again.
NICE

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 :-)
