Today we sailed up to Anse Bateau on the east coast
of Tobago, a journey of around 14 miles. It is far from the hustle of
Scarborough and we are the only yacht at anchor in the bay. Although it is
on the east coast, it is well protected by reefs and islands. As we
anchored a turtle kept popping his head up, watching us.
 View of Anse Bateau from the
headland, looking north
 Alice with cannon - view of Speyside
behind (the bay to the south of Anse Bateau)
We found some ruins of an old sugar plantation,
complete with rusting water mill
 The plant life is vibrant and the air is full of
bird song.
  These birds are called bananaquips and are
tiny, with a beautiful song and there were hundreds of them.
