drifting away ?


We were just drinking coffee early in the morning when i though:
"Oh, have they installed another mooring just ahead of our boat 50m away?"

Then i realized that we have been gone drifting away. The line at the bouy has been chafed through.

What a luck that this happened in the morning and the wind was blowing away from the beach!

The ble loop on the lower left in the picture is the broken one, now we tied into the other one.

That leaves the lesson that we have to check the mooring lines daily i guess.

The Vanora crew were less lucky, the just have lost their Dinghy :-(

Not known how this also leaves a question mark.

The good news is, that we will meet them very soon again in St Lucia and also in Martinique.


Lani is daily climbing on the steering wheel and pretends so drive the boat. If you lift her up she even wants to grab the engine controls and of course presses all the buttons she can find.

The anchorage here is almost empty this morning which i guess is quite uncommon in this place.

We will now go to the beach most likely and then do some more snorkeling.

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 :-)
