LinoCat

After a nice snorkeling dive with Ralf this morning we lifted anchor and La Medianoche and LinoCat sailed with a nice tailwind to St. Thomas. We are now anchored in Charlotte Amalie harbour. It is a little bit rolly but a nice breeze and only 2 minutes to the town. Even the small Coast Guard dinghies carry machine guns on the bow... A typical shopping street with a bar. One of the neighbours from the anchorage again. The water was so clear that you could see them from above without a mask. Ralf checking out the edge of the reef. 2 friends

Well today was just another day at the anchorage. Ralf came over from La Medianoche for breakfast and then there was some snorkeling, some work on the boat and some snorkeling, a nap, some food, some coffee and so on. Ralf tried out his new underwater compact camera and here are his pictures. A nice eagly ray flying by. People asked me about the amount og gas, water and electricity we use: -100Liter / day freshwater -200Ah of power -2,75kg Butane gas per 21days Today i cleaned the waterline of Linocat with a sponge and i refilled the water in the batteries. They have consumed around 2 liter of water in 8 weeks. But that is OK due to heat and daily recharging by solar panels. The blacktip shark on one of the pictures below was shy and he was swimming away and so Ralf could only get him from behind and from a distance.
