Woohoo we have Tobago on the horizon, yes we actually found it!!! (Andre says:Just call me Vasco) We should be in Trinidad tomorrow morning, Insh Allah!

Yesterday evening at about 21h00 we motored into this HUGE island of weed! (Peace brother not that weed hehehe)

Andre was on watch, he says it was about a kilometer square. It brought the boat to a dead stop. He had to turn the motors off and allow the current to slowly push us around so it loosened itself and drifted off.

Today there are the most beautiful pieces of driftwood floating by. I keep wanting to turn around and pick some up. From big pieces to about a foot long. Beautiful colours and full of interesting holes and bumps.

We are still using the kite and going well.

More news from Trinidad!
