Well, it looks as if we are finally on the move. All being well we will leave this weekend setting off towards Tobago. AS we are about 15 miles upriver, we will go down river with the tide and spend a day or so in the creeks near the entrance which everyone says are lovely. We can get finally prepared (and hopefully I can stow everything away properly for once!) and leave when we want rather than having to go when the tide dictates! My apologies to anyone reading my last post Tobago is to the northEAST of Trinidad not northwest!! Lets hope Chris's navigation skills are better than my geography!! On the first map you can just see Trinidad as a green blob off Venezuela
On many days outside the marina office, Daniel originally from (British) Guiana, has been seated carving and selling calabash and we have chatted to him quite a bit and have bought several from him. Last weekend he told us that he decided that he wanted to give us a present and showed a sketch he had made of Moontide. Yesterday he came round gave us the special calabash he had carved and mounted on a stand for us - how kind and generous!!
As a final episode in SLM I’ve posted some pictures of the town.
