Tuesday morning saw a strenuous (!) 4 mile motor
around to the Tobago Cays - a classic Caribbean anchorage which was very busy
with about 70 yachts within the cays and probably another 30 anchored 'outside'
- imagine a cross between Puilladobrain and Oronsay! Good beach,turtles,
good snorkelling, all behind a reef in the lee of Africa 2600 miles away! Paul
and Janie aboard for drinks and dinner.
Tobago Cays
   boat boys selling bread, ice, lobster and tee
shirts!  Tuesday morning left the Cays via the southern
passage then a pleasant sail down to the resort island of Petit Saint Vincent
(PSV) - look it up on the internet - where we anchored off the stunning beach
and had a swim.
   Union Island
   Then more sailing up to Clifton on Union Island
where after a late lunch we wandered ashore on the brightly painted main street.
Then a dinghy trip to Happy Island where Janti has
literally built an island from shells and then added an amazing bar where we
enjoyed rum punches in the sunset!   |
