| Late Tuesday afternoon, April 14, we departed Grenada and sailed overnight to Chaguaramas, Trinidad, a distance of 83 nautical miles. With winds E at 15 knots, we had a good sail across the channel, although due to a strong westerly setting current we mostly sailed on a close-haul. After clearing customs, we moored our boat at Coral Cove Marina. On Thursday, April 30, we hauled Kuhela out of the water, and on Friday, May 1, we flew home for our younger son�s graduation from the University of South Florida at St. Petersburg. |

| We return to Trinidad on November 1. Before departing Trinidad, we would like to see some of the island and hopefully attend one of Trinidad�s steel pan competitions, as these competitions are supposedly the best in the Caribbean as calypso music and pan bands originated in Trinidad. Once leaving Trinidad, we will sail the boat northward through the eastern Caribbean islands, hopefully exploring further the islands of Grenada, St. Vincent, and St. Lucia, and finally visiting the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe. Our plan is to arrive back in Florida in late May or early June 2010. |
