December 6-7Tobago Cays, St Vincent/Grenadines

Ahhh, the Tobago Cays, among our favorite destinations. Love it, love it, love it. More turtles per square mile than any other place. Here are a whole bunch of photos.


















Nekkidness abounds, some right, some so very fundamentally wrong:











This is Walter, the KING of "boat boys". Walter comes around in the afternoons to take orders for early morning delivery of ice and banana bread made by his wife. We remember Walter from our own charter trip to the Tobago Cays with Jimmy several years ago. Walter remembers Craig from a charter trip when he brought sailing students to the Tobago Cays. Even better, he remembers our prior visit earlier this year when Candy was on board with us. Completely unsolicited: "You were here with your sweet sister. Please remember me to her".








Did I tell you that Craig (aka Catain Sexy) is practicing for his swimsuit modeling career??






























The best ever beer-drinking "hey ya'll, watch this" example I have ever seen. Oh my. Well, all I can say is that bravery and stupidity are sometimes difficult to distinguish. I need to party with these people. There was an article several months ago in Cruising World that discribed this very new use for a spinnaker. This is a cruising spinnaker, designed to fly off the bow of the boat (with threee points attached) for downwind sails. We are sitting in the cockpit, dumbfounded, and watch this activity unfold. After the fact, radio investigation revealed that these folks, having read the article, bought a beat up spinnaker to bring with them to their charter boat for this sole purpose.









Routing kite-boarding seems tame after that....

OMG I had almost forgotten how amazingly beautiful it is there - I am sooooo jealous right now! Wow, where were all those lobster when we were there??? Must've been hiding out :) How very nice of Walter to remember me! Damn, you need to get Captain Sexy to work and then you all won't have to come home - Skip oughta be able to hook up some good shots to sell! How come it is that those who shouldn't are all into public nekkidness??? So glad you all have had such beautiful weather for your passages!
