Trinidad

July 30th, 2007 was a great day for us.
We succeeded in tracking down the very special package that our daughter Susan mailed to us in Grenada before we set sail in perfect conditions at 1400 hours for Trinidad. With the full moon guiding us over-head we travelled in the company of our "Brit" friend Neal on Dream Chaser. The sun rise greeted us as we made landfall.
On route we passed the very well illuminated "Hibiscus" gas rig and on our approach to Trinidad we could not mistake the smell of oil.
Our decision to travel south of Grenada was solely grounded in the fact that Trinidad lay out of the Atlantic hurricane belt. We gave great consideration to this decision and undertook the implementation of additional safety and security measures, as was advised by fellow cruisers.
