Out and About in Chaguaramas

The time has flown by since our arrival in Trinidad at the end of July.
We've been very busy arranging many repairs and improvements to our boat. There is no better place than Chaguaramas to under-take all those long over-due projects, but at the same time, we have also enjoyed many excellent outings and side-trips.
We attended a very interesting breakfast meeting of the Seven Seas Cruising Association and continue to be entertained weekly as we jump on board the tour bus to the movie theatre complex.
We've under-taken shopping excursions to town (Port of Spain), the Trincity mall and the Saturday morning outdoor market.
We've sampled the local cuisine offered at the many restaurants and bars in the surrounding marinas; connecting with our friends as they too make the circuit to dine on the daily specials.
We anchored our dinghy off Scotland Bay to have front row seats with hundreds of local boats to share in the excitement as the 39th Great Race participants, accompanied by 5 helicopters, sped by on their 86 mile course route to Tobago.
As we become more familiar with our surroundings we also have become better acquainted and formed many friendships with the other cruisers we continue to meet.
