Sopers Hole




This is the approach to Sopers hole marina on Tortola, BVI.


The water is deep (17m) and clear. Moorings are installed here due to the depth. The amount of moorrings also makes it tricky to use the own anchor and so we are also picking up a mooring here.

There is a nice breeze and good weather and the marina has a nice restaurant, cafe, shops, supermarket etc.

We also meet Ralf and Helmut with the La Medianoche, they are anchoring right behind us and yesterday evening we had a BBQ on Linocat with them.

They brough 2,5 liter of rum punsch and guess what the bottle was empty soon and it was very good.









The sund is shining and so we get almost 50A of charging current during the midday hours.















Nicely painted house



















The marina area














You remember that it was impossible to get a french gas bottle filled in St Martin?

Well, here we got one but look at the shape of the bottle.

Completely rusted! UGLY YUCK!







Check out how our bottles looked (to the right). That is what i hate about exchange of bottles instead of refills.


Anyway.

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 :-)
