Martinique to Dominica





The weather was nice after a rolly anchorage in St Pierre. We left around 7.30 to Dominica.












The Wind came most of the time from behind but was quite weak and so we had one engine running at 2500rpm and making water until our tank was full.










We passed Roseau where we had been in January and went to the north end of Dominica to Portsmouth.

Due to the sourtherly winds there was also a southerly swell and so we anchored in the most secure place at the Portsmouth hotel. There is also free Wifi here and the water is clear.

Albert, one of the boat boys is highly recommend by others and we heard also good about him from Ralf and Inge but we do not need anything.

Lani will soon operate the anchor on her own i guess.

She is now more and more trying out things.






here she is trying out how far she can throw her doll :-)

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 :-)
