Along the coast


Last night LinoCat dropped anchor after having an unpleasant ride from Martinique. The wind was still to southerly and so we had to motor for 2 hours against wind and waves.
Since we owed the Sparkle Laundry in Rodney bay some money we decided to stop there, pay them and then sleep there. So here we are the next morning and continue to drive south towards Grenada.
Another 130 miles to go. Maybe we stop in Bequia or maybe we directly sail to Grenada. The wind is currently only 8 knots and so we sail a lousy 3-4 knots with sometimes the wind slowing down and then we have to use the engine.

Let´s see how it goes. As we are crusing along St Lucia coast there is often an open WifI spot which we can use.

In the picture you can see the UNICORN, a boat based in Rodney bay. It could be seen in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" and also "Roots".

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 :-)
