The Saintes 2


Lani woke up at 5.11 YEAAAH this sucks! So we head breakfast around 6.30 and a long day ahead :-)

Don´t be fooled by this remote place, the french customs is coming and checking boats. It looked like they gave boat names to Guadeloupe and then boarded some of the yachts around. They dropped teams of 2 to check and the finnish boat next to us was also checked. I did the "Lani trick" and waved them a "Bonjours" together wirh Lani and so they ignored us (maybe).

At around 11 we went for a walk and enjoyed the village and Lani and the skipper had a loooong nap from around 13 to 15.30. That was great.

At around 16.30 we went to shore again and Lani was running around chasing cats and dogs and stretching the nerves of her parents.

We had dinner at "Il Cardinale" and Lani had a really big piece of Pizza Cappriciosa while we had grilled vegetables and Rigatoni Diavolo.

At 20.00 Lani went to bed and so it is CINEMA time :-)




Lets see which movie is still hidden somewhere...

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 :-)
