Arrival in Grenada


It was an uneventful crossing just the wind was always coming a bit from the front and o were the waves. When we were on the lee side of the islands sometimes we had to motor.

We even passes and underwater volcano called "Kick em Jenny" and had to pass around since the entry was not permitted.

Customs officials were very friendly and we had a nice nap after the voyage.

Once there was a cargo ship coming very close and even though we were under sail and had the right of way i changed the course to let him pass at full speed.

On the radar at night there were even some rainclouds but we did not get a boatwash for free :-).

On the VHF radio we have talked with Ralf from La Medianoche and we will see him tomorrow. That will be nice!

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 :-)
