Anchorages - Tobago

We enjoyed 5 different anchorages during our 10 day stay in Tobago.
Our counter-clockwise direction of travel around the island found us making slow progress as we worked against the up to 4 knot current and north-easterly swell.
We discovered that Tobago has its own unique fishing style of trolling with bamboo poles off each side of their perogues. Anchorage area was limited as seine net fishing was taking place in virtually every bay.
We unsuccessfully attempted to purchase fish and sadly found it was always "already all sold". Happily we could still enjoy the locals favourite dish "rotis" which are a combination of curry, potatoes, vegetables, fish/chicken/lambi/goat, in a flour tortilla type wrap - very delicious but watch the (hot) pepper.
As we made our way from anchorage to anchorage we had numerous dolphin sightings. As well as the bottlenose type that we usually see we also have sighted many that are white spotted with longer pointed snouts.
