We decided to stay here for Christmas (and now New Year too) as Nicky & David (Baloo) are here as well as 2 French boats and a new German boat. We have been hearing tales of the “Christmas Storms” around Trinidad and we would not necessarily have met up with any English-speaking yotties there.
Also, David, the marina owner, bought a BBQ recently and has been arranging parties to use it for yotties and some local friends.
Saturday before Christmas, it was christened with a bit of a party as Remy & Madeline left to go home for Christmas so we had our Secret Santa/Lucky Dip that night. It was good fun, with lights and music etc but stupidly I didn’t take any pictures - DOH. But here’s one of the lights on Moontide!!!
Nicky had made a bread & butter pudding for afters which was delicious – a real taste of home!
Mmmmmmmm
As always we found loads to chat about we did not in fact play any games! Nicky and David left around 8.00 and we watched a couple of films before settling down ourselves!
Again no photos I’m afraid!
Since then it’s back to normal for a few days but with another BBQ on New Year’s Eve. We will probably go over for a while but we’re not sure that we will stay until midnight though!!
I had meant to post an entry before Christmas but ran out of charge at the crucial time so I do hope you all had a great time and I’ll take this opportunity to wish everyone a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR
