Raining in Trinidad

The only other notable thing about driving in Trinidad which was not mentioned last week was that inspite of all the outrageous behaviour on the roads, road rage is virtually unknown and use of horn rare!  We are now nearing completion of the refit and have moved back aboard from the comfort and hospitality of the Kelshalls. We hope to leave Trinidad in about a week.

We have had a minor diversion as on Thursday morning we flew up to Martinique to help a friend who had been injured to sail his boat back to Trinidad.

We had a great sail down stopping for a night in the Grenadines but for the last thirty miles had heavy rain and squally winds from what we hope might be the last tropical wave before the dry season sets in properly.  Trinidad felt rather more like Scotland as we sailed in this Sunday morning.
