Tobago - > Trinidad


Another overnight sail, fortunately this time with the wind in our back so were all hoping for a decent nights sleep. Much required after our exploits last night. You’ll be glad to know that we did Ireland and the Irish proud. If anyone would like an evaluation of Caribbean rums and beers Noel is the man to ask.

Once in Trinidad we will be stocking up for our long sail North to Tortola. We need to log at least 3 continuous nights at sea, 150 miles from safe haven and a minimum of 500 miles long. Basically a case of steering 310 degrees and setting the sails for 80 odd hours. Then its time to fish by day and count stars and play ‘I spy’ by night. Of course if necessary ‘I spy’ can also be played during the day time. Desperate times do call for desperate measures!

Enjoy reading all about your adventures and I must say I am a bit jealous!! In fact very jealous. Photos are brilliant - love the underwater shots. Best of luck on your long trip. Will be looking forward to hearing all about it when you get to your next island.

All well here. Love from all the O'C's. x
