Christmas Trinidad 4

We had a pleasant meal at the Crews Inn Restaurant 30th December, in the
company of Susan and Andrew Andromeda, only need to remember that Blackened
Grouper on the Menu actually equates to Breaded Tilapia on the plate. They
insist this is, ‘Crews Inn Grouper’, so I now consider myself educated!
Old Years Night, or New Years Eve as we all call it we moved from Chaguaramus
around to a small bay just East of TTSA which we call Wreck Bay, which we have
all to ourselves, maybe the reason is in the name of the bay...
From here we had the most wonderful view taking in TTSA down to the Port of
Spain, at 8 pm (New Years Day GMT) we started to enjoy the firework displays
which reached a crescendo at Midnight local time, with bangs and sparkles as far
as we could see, plus the military school, Coastguard and yacht Club sending up
the Red Distress Flares, it was a magnificent sight.
On the 1st January 2014, We went ashore to the GAM, the which is the AGM of
the Seven Seas Cruising Association for an informal talk and pot luck, also a
very interesting talk with slides on Guyana, presented by Willie and Mark
Haskins, Liahona, (you may remember we were supposed to be there by now!)
2nd January Maris and I have our final swim together and then sail back to
Chaguaramus, in time to see a tanker being launched from the giant dry dock,
where Maris departs early afternoon for her evening flight to Gatwick and then
Edinburgh. It has been a lovely Christmas and Maris has been great help to
me, and as always a great guest.
