Final treat....

I have always wanted to ride on a beach, something that's not easy to do in Gloucestershire! I found this inspiring place in Tobago of all places. It is run by a German lady and  a Trinidadian guy. They have five beautiful thoroughbred horses which they take people out onto the beach and into the sea. We rode with only a saddle cloth and a headcollar, and the best bit, bare feet which felt very strange! I apologise for the hat, it was obligatory!
It was the strangest feeling sitting on a horse that is swimming, you feel like you're floating. It was a fantastic experience.

Packed up now and ready to fly home.....

We'll miss Tobago...

The Rogers have been onboard for a week with their daughters Imo and Rosie. I think they were the first friends who said they would like to visit us on the boat and also our last visitors before we head home. Last week we caught seven lobster, which was our record, as the girls were tucking in I had to remind them that they wouldn't be eating this in two weeks time back in Painswick!!!
We will definitely miss Tobago, it seems like yesterday we arrived and had two months to look forward to. Time rushes by when you're having fun.

Looking over our favourite bay, Charlotteville

We had a fantastic morning with Newton George the local expert on birds, the girls really got into it and I think they are both mini twitchers now!! We saw, Green Kingfisher, Honey Creepers, Motmot, Golden spotted woodpecker, Coloured Trogan, Hummingbirds, and a raccoon!

Coloured Trogan

I have to mention Dave.R's BIG catch which will be talked about for many years!!! During their week with us many hours were spent on the back deck fishing, which was rewarded with great excitement as Dave pulled in a 6 lb African Pompano, a beautiful fish which we hadn't seen before.

Only a week until we fly home, we set sail back to Grenada tomorrow, this time as it's our final sail we'll do the journey in the day.
Some of the things we'll miss........

Picking enormous Avocados!

Collecting coconuts

and lots more....
