From Marigot Bay to Tobago

From Marigot Bay St. Lucia to Charlottville Tobago.

After 10 nice and pleasant days at Chateau Mygo Marigot Bay we set sail for a direct leg to Charlotteville Tobago. 36 hours later we arrived at the 17th. of May ( The Norwegian national day) at 03.00 am

We anchored in the bay and went to bed for a couple hours.

My friend Ronny from my home town Fredrikstad had told me about Charlottville, he has been here 2-3 times. He told me is was some very nice people here, and very relaxed living. It's a fishing village, so there is alot of smal 25 foots open boats with a 50 hp outboard and two bamboo poles out for the fishing lines.

This is the bar we have been hanging out while at shore. Ayo's.

Sqeeze on gitar, Pascal and Tonje and my self at Ayo's bar. 

Here at Ayo's bar we met Osama Bin Laden him self. We had just heard that he was shot,

but to our surprice he was here in Tobago under name 'alias' Hollies'

Take a close look at the picture.

Pascal and 'Hollies'

One day we were invited to go out fisning with one of the local fishermen. Taffy. he took us out for about 6 hours in waves and alot of sun. We cought 3 tunas 2 sharks .

It was a great day at sea, but very bumpy. And hour asses was not in a A1 condition. To much salt water on your pants for to long time. The skin does not like it.

Here are some of the pictures from our catch on the line in 15 knots speed.

Tonje with another one.

So at night we took the dingy into the beach for a BBQ.

One the beach was also a British family. Pete, Mel Luke and Sam.

And also a Frence couple.

Well, the British family was not on the picture yet.

They joined the party later that night.

The day after we were back on the beach again. One guy had cought a Iguana, so we were cutting it apart and BBQ it. Tast like chicen.

The end of that iguana.

Here is Luke and Sam anyway.

After 8 days at Charlottville we sailed over to the east side of Tobago. A bay called Bateau Bay.
A fancy hotell with name 'Blue water inn' Everything was twice the price from Charlotteville. and the water was the same price pr. liter as the diesel. So we didn't fill water, but did that at the fishermanns pier at Charlotteville when we came back after 3 nights and days.
The place was beautiful, but no ships. Only hotell guests.

Back in Charlotteville Friday May 28th. we meet our friends again, and we needed to do some laundry.
We have to check out from Tobago the same city as you check in with imigration and custom.
So we will do that here, and ask for a cruising permit for stopping at 3 other bays on the way south.
Englishman bay and Plymouth and then Store Bay all the way south of Tobago.
Then we will sail to Trinidad. My boat will be put on the hard ( a shore) for 3 months before I arrive back September 14th. to sail the north coast of south America.
