Meeting our virtual crew members


Hi,

those of you who followed us over the atlantic last year with our blog might remember that we had a "virtual" crew member.

Helmut and Sylvia helped us to keep our blog updated and also always informed us what was going on with the rest of the cruisers.

Since then we had kept a sporadic email exchange but now it was to meet them anyway!

We had planned a Vienna visit for quite a while but now we managed to meet with Titiksha on Sunday evening and had dinner together.

Then i had a business meeting on monday and then late afternoon on monday we met Sylvia and Helmut from the catamaran Onotoa.

They took us to the Christmas market at the Rathaus and the view was impressing.

We had some mulled wine and thn went for a dinner together.

Lani also liked them a lot, especially after Helmut shared his sweet dish with her :-)

It was a nice evening and we chatted a lot about cruising and boats.

I am sure, we will meet them again.

Thanks again to both of you !

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 :-)
