The Tobago Cays, which incidentally are not in Tobago but in the Grenadines, are one of the most beautiful places on this earth. It is an archipelago of 5 small islands set behind a long Horseshoe Reef. After our quick 20 mile sail from Bequia, we anchored behind the reef between a couple of the islands in the crystal clear, gin colored waters. We had stunning views everywhere we looked, from the waves crashing out on the reef to the white sand beaches lined with coconut palm trees of the individual Cays. And it is so pristine, with no civilization in site and only accessible by boat. In fact, the Tobago Cays has recently been turned into a national park in an effort to preserve the natural beauty and abundant wildlife. And the snorkeling in the ... read more

We are still at Saline Bay. Planing on moving boat to the North of this island, there is another bay, called Salt Whistle. Probably will be doing this within the hour. There is a low that passed over us this morning with lot's of wind and some rain. We welcome the rain, Boat needs a good washing. We have been here for 2 days, Jeris and I caught a taxi up to town yesterday morning, spectacular view of the Tobago cay's. Cost us 10 EC for both, not bad. Was well worth it or we would have had to climb the "mountain". Jeris right foot, ankle, is a bit swollen, a malady she has had for sometime now. We also went to the beach. There were some vendors. I asked the cost of a tank top. ... read more

We arrived in the Tobago cays around 1000 hours. I cannot start to describe this area. Best way Pete could express himself was saying it looked like atolls. It is just beautiful. You have the atlantic ocean with a huge reef in front of us and 3 very small islands. The reef goes for miles....It is a little tricky coming in here. We plan to be here overnight, and maybe tomorrow as well. Weather permitting. We are anchored between Petit Rameu and Petit Bateau. In 22 feet of depth. We had an early lunch, getting ready to put dinghy in water, and go do some snorkeling. You are not allowed to take anything live or dead from here, it is a park. There are boat boys around selling ice, fish, lobster, etc. And 99 per cent ... read more
