Back in Rodney Bay


Here some pictures taken a while ago from aboard Vanora.
LinoCat left Tyrrel Bay 3 days ago and we then sailed to Bequia. The wind angle was always around 40 to 45 degrees so about the max which we can sail.
Due to the strong winds we had a reef in the mainsail and still were doing more than 9 knots from time to time. Nice new antifouling!

In Bequia we just took it easy, went to Doris for some shopping and left it the next morning after getting fresh and warm Baguette delivered to our boat.

The passage to St Vincent was Ok but from St Vincent to St Lucia it was rough with a loft of changes in windspeed and direction and some unpleasant waves.

It is said to be calming down in the next days and that would be nice for Andi, Anja and their girls.

I filled up the gas tank for the Dinghyand we did some more shopping for food (Like 24 cans of Piton beer).

Tomorrow morning we will head for Martinique.

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 :-)
