FW: Discovery

Hi All

30 May 2012

Position 14:00 UTC -3  10 07.980N 059 24.012W Still motoring. Wind variable, but current against us. We picked up the counter current, looks like we should have been closer inshore. Another rain squall, which lasted much longer than the others.

Supper Bully beef stew and mash

Position 14:00 UTC - 3  10 47.176N 061 31.977W Shore line lights of Tobago off to starboard from about 0300. Through Galleon's Passage by 0700 and started down the east coast of Trinidad for Bocas del Dragon. We haven't seen too many ships all the way across and as we exited Galleon's Passage there are ships all over the place missing us by 500m and more.

About 13:30 we entered the narrow channel between the mainland Trinidad and Monos Island. The current comes out flowing north at over 3knots and was forming a bit of a rip.

Got to Peake's just before 15:00, but were waved away to go to Immigration and Customs first. Cleared formalities and back at Peake's by 17:00. Peake's knew about us but had not received a date, so hope fully we will be out tomorrow. But more important to shower and feel clean once more.

Beer and supper at the Power Boats. Then early to bed.

Cheers

Chris
