Trinidad Tobago

Some picture from Zephyr on the hard.

Here are some picture from when I got the underside sanded down to gelcoat, and fixing the sikaflex around all cabin windows.

This is Lorenze doing the sanding.

I will tell you more after we all get going.

Finally I got the ropes on board and headed for Tobago.

70 sea miles north. We made it  in 11 hours with the help of the motor.

Going north from Trinidad means you are going against the current, which can be 1-4 knots, and the wind, and the sea coming from north east.

So, me and a friend with name David took off Saturday from the marina in Chaguaramas and motored out to Scotland Bay one hour.

We anchored there, and started next morning at 05.00 am.

We had a wonderful sail up the coast of Trinidad, to the very north, and then crossed over to south Tobago Store Bay.

This is were the airport is, so it is very convenient to meet Rob, Robin and Rhino from UK here Wednesday Nov. 9th.

Anibal from Venezuela is arriving the day after, and then we head north to Charlotteville the very north of Tobago.

We are all skydiving friends from WAY BACK, so it will be a lot to talk about, and enjoy the sailing in the Caribbean.

Anibal will only stay 3 days, before he fly back to Caracas.

The RRR are staying with me for 2 weeks.

(David has bought a 51 feet Jeanneau in Chaguaramas, and are working on it to get it ready to sail to Houston Texas. He has been on the dusty yard for two months, so he just wanted to get out sailing for a couple days.)

I will tell you more after we all get going.
