CHANGE OF PLAN
the friends we were going to visit in Trinidad turn out to be elsewhere at present.  In the meantime every man and his dog has warned us against going to Trinidad at the moment - lots of kidnappings and 4 to 5 murders per day have rather put us off.
As a result we will lose the company of Skippy and his girlfriend Effie tomorrow as we head to Granada and they head to Trinidad.
Spent all day playing with the officials in Scarborough today - they were a little uncomfortable with the idea that we had cleared out of Tobago for Trinidad and then stayed - losing two crew in the meantime.
It all worked out in the end but was a pretty hard day for the crew - the kids were amazing.
we are back at the Laundromat with internet connection tonight - kind of an interesting concept since what else can you do while your washing is in the machine??
tomorrow morning at 6 am we will sail for Granada - about 75 miles so should take us about 12 hours if we have some reasonable wind.  Prickly Bay is our intended destination.
might stay a few days if we like it then head further north
hoping to meet Anne and Georgie Farinacci within a couple of weeks when we get further north.
