Hi folks, yes we made it to Trinidad and we did this just in time for that mean Dean hurricane! Our time in Tobago was great! We really took our time exploring the beautiful bays along the west coast of the island. The anchorages are surrounded by lush rainforests and the exotic birds here are better than any alarm clock! Our sail to Trinidad was nice, although as we approached the Chaguaramas, our diesel engine siezed! The belt broke without us noticing and she overheated. Luckily we were able to tack into the anchorage and drop the hook. We are in the process of repairing our engine, so the kids are staying at a hotel in the yard. They love the shower! Hopefully we will be back in action soon. Trinidad is the most commercial island we have seen in a while, so we have been window shopping at the luxurious malls they have here. We hope to start moving West soon after we provision. hugs and kisses...
