This will most likely be the last position report for the season!
I will not likely send a report for several weeks or even a few months.
If you wish to stay on my list for next season, please email me.

We had a great sail hitting up to 15.4 knots late in the day. A fitting last sail for Nikki aboard Beach House.
This place is quite crowded. We fortunately have power and hence AIR CONDITIONING…
I WILL update the blog about Tobago, the sail and our arrival in Trinidad by tomorrow.
Feel free to email us, we hope to have real internet tomorrow?

COMMENT: Beach House -ANCHORED – Castara Bay, Tobago South Shore
Despite our having permission and a permit to anchor in Englishman\’s Bay, a local fishing guy came by and wanted us out so he could net the entire bay.
I doubt his nets were that big, but we were not going to argue and moved 2 miles to this bay, Castara where there are two other cruising boats.
It\’s just as pretty or more so and it\’s calmer!
I\’ll blog later this afternoon to catch up…
Cheers,
Scott and Wind-lass Nik

COMMENT: Beach House -ANCHORED – Englishman\’s Bay, Tobago South Shore
No internet here! We\’re the only boat, pretty nice, idyllic setting. We were here in the rent a car the other day.
May go ashore to the restaurant later. We plan on going to either Castara Bay or Buccoo Bay tomorrow before heading off to Trinidad on Thursday.
I\’ll remove lots of you from the position report once we are at the dock in Chaguaramas, Trinidad. Let me know if you want to stay on?

COMMENT: Beach House -ANCHORED- Man of War Bay, Charlottesvlle, Tobago
We anchored at 6:15 am local time, we\’re now -4 on GMT. 25 or so cruising boats here, a nice little anchorage but
deeper than I\’ve been used to since leaving the Pacific.
The Atlantic has been crossed! 6050 miles since we left Cape Town….
KIT,
Sleeping now, check in and update the blog later today…

COMMENT: Beach House -EN ROUTE- Guyana to Tobago, Expect A.M. Arrival…..
Updating the position report ahead of schedule. 82 miles to go to the East end of Tobago, now abeam \”Boca de La Serpte\” (The Serpents Mouth). This is the passage between
Venezuela and Trinidad. The North passage is called \”The Dragon\’s Mouth\”… Sounds very Pirates of the Caribbean.
We had a mini boo boo today. The spinnaker tack blew out, no worries, got it all down quickly. We\’ve the full main and genneker up doing 8.5-10 knots for the last 10 hours; we\’re flying in really smooth seas on a beam reach. I\’ll update the position as we make the turn and then when we are anchored.
KIT,
Scott and off watch Nik
