Anyway, here are the last part og the venture, before I put the boat on the hard ( land) June 15th.
Slow days at Charlotteville Tobago
Things go very slow and cool in Charlotteville. After two weeks there, ecept the 3 night at
Bateau Bay on the east side, we decided to sail south towards Englishman Bay.
Sailing out, with the 3 sisters rocks ahead.
We had a beautiful sailtrip the 3 hours doen to Englishman Bay.
The sea was calm, so we made some lunch for the cockpit table.
Enjoying the lunch and the wine.
Entering the Englishman Bay was beautiful. We had heard the snorkeling there was
fantastic, and the lonely white sand beach and no traffic.
Looking into the white sand beach.
The pilotbook said there was a beach bar and restaurant there, but we couldn't see it.
I was very worried.
Zephyr to the right.
To check out the bar we took the dingi to the beach.
And there was the restaurant and bar.
But FUCK, it wasn't open. shit shit shit.
But nice it was.
Well, we checked it out again next day, and then it was open.
Next stop was Store Bay at the very south end of Tobago.
There we were picking up Hollies, which had to get his passport sent
by express mail from Trinidad to Tobago to be able to sail with us to
Chaguaramas. This was told by the imigration at Chalottevillle.
Later we found out in Chaguaramas imigration, that this was not nessesery
since he was a Trini. Well, well. We did as the officer had said.
Hollies had never sailed before, so he was really looking forward to come with us.
Happy crew ready to haul the sails.
Back in Trinidad.
The first 5 days we berth at the bridge at Coral Cove Marina, waiting for June 15th. to be lifted.
Next door there was a fishing competition with free fish soup we heard,
so we went over and saw all the boats coming in with there catch.
About 20 boats entered.
Measure the winning Tuna.
The judges was dressed in some kind of fish skin outfit.
Well, I don't know.
At the Coral Cove Marine we had a little clean pool we could dip into.
That was very nice in the 38 degress shade weather.
One day some Venezuelian fishermen we get to know, gave
us about 25 kg. og Tuna and Dorado files.
So, we mad a BBQ at the poolside and invited everybody around us.
Nice shade around the poolside.
Leaving Zephyr on the hard was new.
I never been on the hard more than 3 days before, the 7 years I have
been living onboard. So the feeling was a bit different.
But I felt safe in the secured marina with 24/7 security, and also
got to be friends with some of the gards.
Lasse, my Norwegian friend is on the hard next to me, so he
will look good after her also.
I spoke with him today July 1st. and everything is fine.
The adventure of Zephyr will continue from about September 23-25th.
Since the Hurricane season continues until December, I am planning to
sail along the South Americas north coast.
This aerea supposed to be the most beautiful part of the whole Caribbean.
First stop will be Margarita Island. A beautiful holliday place for many nations, but
belongs to Venezuela.
Next stop will be Aruba, which is a Dutch colony. So Boinere and Curaceau
and hopefylly Cartegena Columbia.
You will get more information later. But I have empty boat, so if you
want to got on some of this legs, please write me on
The adventure of Zephyr will continue from about Sepember
.
One afternoon we went up the hill to Hollies to watch the sunset.
Hollies made a fire to keep some of the mosquitos away.
Hollis making fire
Ya man
