Two Months In Chaguaramas, Trinidad
Now we are without a mast and DHARMA BUM III looks rather strange. The KISS wind-generator is the highest point of the boat and there is one lonely solar-panel sitting on top of the bimini.
A few days ago one of the boats on a YSATT-mooring went adrift which is one of the reasons why we are thinking of relocation to the Trinidad & Tobago Sailing Association (TTSA), a Yacht Club a few bays further down. Another big reason is that they have a swimming pool, where I can finally teach Aurora Ulani swimming. However, the place is very noisy on the weekend with the disco in full swing and it is far away from shops and other facilities.
Also, one must pay for a whole month over there, so if it is not good, we will be stuck there anyway.
We hope to have our mast standing up again early next week and maybe we even get the frame for the four solar panels within a month. Sooner or later we will have to deal with immigration and then we'll have to think of where we want to go. I am still inclined to forget about Venezuela and go straight to the San Blas Islands and Panama.
