I never cease to be amazed at the smallness of this planet we inhabit when it comes to meeting people.  In Tobago we discovered that friends from Boldre Lane, Lymington were staying at the hotel off which we were moored.  The Whately-Smiths.  And in Trinidad it happened that the wife of friends we had met in of all places Deal Island in the Bass Straight was visiting on business.  Linda came to dinner with Trinidadian friends of ours and also visited us in Chaguaramus.  This short blog is dedicated to the above people.  Great to see you and look after yourselves.

Linda last was on board Nordlys on an unihabited Australian island called Deal Island.
She and Tony her husband were doing a voluntary spell as keepers of the small
museum there which tells of the story of the inhabitants who looked after the
Light House in a bygone era.
 
The star of the show at rest after 5500 miles and six weeks of motion.
Cruise Inn Marina, Chaguaramus, Trinidad.  Suprisingly little
has changed here since we left in 2002.
