Sailing from Grenada to Carnival in Trinidad.
At sunset we sailed out from St. George Grenada, planning to reach Chaguaramas
outside Port of Spain Trinidad next morning.
So we did. We landed at the custom and immigration bridge at 09.15 after 16 hours sailing
in total darkness, except two oil platform. One is the Hibiscus Trinidad gas supply platform,
and the other one is from Venezuela. We had one on each side, and the Trinidad on our port side.
We had heard that there had been some piracy going on around the Venezuela platform, so I turn of all the light on the boat. Hoping that would help if there was any Pirats of Caribbean out there.
There was not.
There is no pictures from that crossing of course.
Arriving Sunday morning at 09.15 we went to immigration and custom and cleared in.
Then we had a nice breakfast we a Canadian couple, Ken and Joni, I had met first time at Rodney Bay
St. Lucia and again at Marigot Bay St. Lucia.
Tweet and me have been together with them every day since we came. They are very nice people,
and we have got to be very good friends.
They are on a "never ending" tour with there beautiful 49,5 foot Catamaran.
Well, we didn't go to the Carnival at Sunday night when they are trowing paint and mud on each other from 02.00 to 08.00 in the morning. Then they go home and shower (I suppose ) and come back
with costumes and mars the streets together with several dozen of long mega truck overloadded with
very power full speakers and PA system. The sound was so loud that your body was vibrating when they passed you.. Some of the truck also had Steel Pan drum bands on maybe 25 drums.
Here are some pictures of the colour full costumes.
Yes, he is white, but from Trinidad.
I was easy to be asked for picture.
And they are walking for miles
Some green, some red some and everything
Some with less costume than others
Tweet got stocked between the stocks (Stylts)
Not erverybody had the rest after the night before
Not everybody had a perfect body
