Zephyr is back in the water

Zephyr is back on the water.
After two weeks work, Zephyr is back in the water. She has been sanded all down under,
got epoxy primer one time and 4 times red antifaul bottom paint.
She has been polished, and the teak deck and cockpit is looking like new.
Front sail has been repaired and looked after all the way, and the motor new oil.
Zephyr is ready to sail the Caribbean islands for new advetures.
New sail plan.
The sail plan has been changed from going west to Margarita Island Venezuela,
Bonier, Curacau and Aruba, to go north to Tobago
3 of the crew I was counting on from September, has not been able to come.
The security is not so good anymore  at Margarita Island, so many boats do not go there longer.
But Tobago is a beautiful island. Belongs to Trinidad, but is much more relaxed and slow.
Tobago is only 70 NM north east of Chaguaramas Trinidad ( Where Zephyr and me are now)
Tobago has many beautiful bays to anchor with white sand beaches, palm trees and tiki bars.
Also smal sandy islands with no tiki bar


The snorkling and scuba diving is one of the best in the world, and you can see
almost all kind of creatures. Turtles Seahorse etc. etc.


Escape from the cold and snow.
And come sailing with Zephyr to most of the Caribbean islands.
25-30 degrees in the air and 27 in the crystal clear water.
I usually say in the morning that I am taking a swim in my own world biggest swimming pool.
I am by myself on the boat so there are two double berth cabins free.
