Prickly Bay and St Davids harbour (Grenada Marine)



After a good night sleep in Prickly Bay at anchor we took a local bus for 2.5 EC Dollar and went for shopping in a nice shopping mall. They even have NUTELLA, my favorite chocolate spread but since we just visited Martinique we had enough Nutella on board.

But they had all we need. Well just no bananas.


At 12.00 we lifted the anchor to relocate another 6 miles west to St. Davids harbour where LinoCat will get out of the water on Monday.

Be aware of the rocky coast when you sail along here. There are underwater rocks just 0.6m below the water. When the waves break there you can even see the rocks. So have a good look on the map and be alert.

Many of the bouys which are in the map do not exist in real, so expect the unexpected :-)





When we approached St Davids we also could see the waves breaking on shallo rocks just near the entrance.


An appointment for Monday morning was confirmed and together with Ralf from La Medianoche we had a coffee on LinoCat and then went to the southern police station for a temporary driving permit for Grenada since we want to explore a little bit of the island.

There are many nice catamarans and other boats out here but it will be more busy in a few weeks.

At the end of April the Condor direct flights to Grenada stop and will continue after the hurricane season.

Until Monday LinoCat is on a mooring and since this bay is quite protected against wind i just hope it is getting not toooooo hot at night.











La Medianoche already on dry land.

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
