Thursday 6th December- at Chaguaramas, Trinidad

Thu 6 Dec 2007 14:07

We arrived at 9am this morning - local time, 4 hours behind UK. A slow final couple of days, with light winds, some heavy bursts of rain, and a fair amount of time under engine. Tobago was sighted at breakfast time yesterday morning by Henry, who therefore won the Rabbit challenge for first sight of land, and was duly rewarded with a Cape Verde 1000 escudo note, suitably inscribed.From then on a steady plod to ensure an arrival this am.
Morning spent in immigration procedures, and settling in to the marina, and now off for a beer and some lunch.
All well, photos to follow once we can access wi fi.
