Anse Bateau - Little Tobago Island

We inched our way through vast areas of coral reef to tuck in to Tobago's east coast anchorage of Anse Bateau where we joined others on a glass bottom boat tour to the bird sanctuary of Little Tobago.
We identified many different brightly coloured land birds as well as sea birds such as red-billed tropic birds and frigats.
Our tour included snorkelling in the areas rich coral reef which is home to many turtles.
Dive boats were leaving regularly, loaded with divers off to explore the 15 dive sites in the area.
We were the only visiting boat in the bay and were welcomed to enjoy the facilities offered at the Blue Waters Inn.
A short hike over the headland brought us to the town of Speyside, home of Jemma's restaurant which is built "tree house" style in an almond tree over-looking the beach - truly a tasty spot.
Barry went by bus from Speyside to Scarborough and arranged our clearance out of customs and immigration.
On November 5th we set sail for Grenada. With the wind, wave and swell all on our aft quarter we vanged our main sail and had a rather wobbly, but safe and uneventful passage.
