We decided the swells in Port Elizabeth, Bequia from the storm were rough and rolly and forecast to be there for a few more days so Tobago Cays bekoned us. Turquoise crystal clear waters for snorkling around to spot the fish and turtles along the coral reefs was so inviting.

Brett skippered us down the windward side so we would get more experience with the swells, reefing and sail handling in rolly, windy condition. We saw some amazing boats along the way, which we are sure had quite the crew to handle them.

On arriving at Tobago Cays you see all the boat vendors who go between the yachts, selling wares from fresh fish & lobster to clothing. Their boats are all very unique and colourfully decorated so you remember who you have dealt with.

Mr Arrival

We spent 2 days at the Cays lazing amongst the other catermarans and yachts and all the kite/ wind surfers. Maybe theres a reason there are so many kite surfers. We snorkled,swam with the turtles and Brett rode the anchor chain for exercise. The waters were incredible.

After 2 restless nights from the winds, which seemed to really pick up at night we decided that we needed to head further north. Bretts birthday was also fast approaching and we needed to get to a bar and restaurant to celebrate his special day.
