A short test sail


We just went out for 2 hours to let the engines run and to move the boat a few miles.

Cartagena has many old fortress structures to see when you approach it.

Some are quite old and some looks like they are from WWII.


Unfortunately the weather was not so nice and the wind has dies down to around 6knots.


So we only did a short cruise into the bay and then back again.

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 :-)

3000km with the Triumph 1200 XE

 Gestern erreichte ich 3000km mit der 1200 XE, sie ist also nun quasi "gut eingefahren". Das Mopped macht mir Spass, ist kein Leichtgewicht, weil eben alles aus Metall ist, was nach Metall aussieht und mein Po schmerzt mir erst nach ca 3h.  Ich habe das Bluetooth-Modul nachruesten lassen und verwende es zusammen mit den SENA Komponenten in meinem Helm. Manchmal ist es etwas nervig, bis man alle Devices in der richtigen Reihenfolge gekoppelt hat. Aktuell verwende ich den Schuberth C5 und das neue Sena SC2 direkt mit dem Galaxy S22 gekoppelt. Damit umgehe ich das BT Modul der Scrambler, werde das aber wieder umstellen. Die 3000km waren unspektakulär, lediglich die Batterie des Moppeds machte bereits schlapp. Selbst ein überbrücken war nicht möglich, da die defekte Batterie hier dazwischenfunkte. Eine Yuasa YTS10S gibt es fuer ca 80EUR im Onlinehandel und diese kommt bereits vorgeladen, man kann also quasi direkt starten. Als Tasche habe ich an der linken Seite die SW-Motech Leg
