We’ve spent the last 2 weeks in Chaguaramas while the new teak galley floor has been built and installed. It is now finished and is beautiful. We upped anchor and moved back to Scotland Bay this afternoon. Our friends on “Beyond” prepared a campfire and “organized” a barbeque tonight. Doug and LuAnn on “Whisper” and Neil and Rosie on “Dreamcatcher” arrived this evening and we all brought something for the grill to go with the baked potatoes (in the coals), salads, bread, and beans. A beautiful night and a great meal was had, with the howler monkeys and tree frogs making background music. The phosphorescence was incredible tonight as we dinghied back to the mother ship. It’s great to be cruising again. We’re still waiting to hear from Al and Runa in Sweden about when they plan to return to Trinidad. We’re thinking about heading west to Isla de Margarita in Venezuela (about 140 miles away) and spending some time there before returning to Trinidad … we’ll make plans in the next couple of days. We are both anxious to be on the move again. We heard on the net this morning that St. Louis and Tennessee are in the Super Bowl this year … how did that happen????
Let us hear from you,

David and Claudia
