A rainy day

It was raining cats and dogs this morning. Good that we had nice weather yesterday duringthe crossing. Now the boat is almost salt free but to give it a proper wash it should not rain.














Great, another adapter to build! The yellow one is a US norm 250V 50A adapter and i had to get the parts today and build it. At least the shops are open on sundays and so i could get the parts.

After measuring the socket on the dock it was done in 15 minutes and it worked.
I guess we must have around half a dozen of power adapters and maybe 10 water adapters. Crazy world.

The last time LinoCat was at shorepower was more than 2 weeks ago in Rodney Bay and so thebatteries are happy to get charged.
Since there is no sun the solarpanels only give 9A and i guess the batteries are happy to get charged for 2 days :-)

Lani was not bothered by the weather and she wear her "RAIN OUTFIT" for the first time!

I also did customs clearance today, they have been friendly and the overtime charge of 16 US dollaers for a sunday was OK. They use paper, at least that always works and i even brought a pen.

They do not know about the current process of entering the US with a private verssel so tomorrow i will have to call the authorities in the USVi and explore the options.

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 :-)
