Well, now we've managed to get the pictures from Grenada on the blog, we can tell you we're in Tobago. We arrived last Saturday after an overnighter from Grenada. This island must have one of the most ridulous customs we've come across so far, involving numerous trips to customs as we move round the island. The cynic in me says it's to keep the taxi drivers in business!! It certainly doesn't encorage free movement. Still, we're now just off Crown Point on the west side, and have seen some of the island. We've done some diving, with limited visibility and lots of current. We've also been bird watching, at a small reserve, which was good. There are a lot of birds around, and it's lovely to have loads of terns and laughing gulls in addition to the pelicans. There's been a westerly swell come through, making the ancourage very rolly, such that we've got the sticky mats out again, last used mid-Atlantic. However, it's supposed to settle tomorrow, so after another trip to customs in the next town, we'll move on to the north of the island
