Friday, Nov 7, 2014 I woke up to a nice cool morning. Temp in low 80s. I was hungry so it was off to Zanzabar the local restaurant here at Peakes. I had eggs over easy and pancakes. The eggs were overdone as usual. It seem not many cooks know how to do over easy. […]
Wed, November 5, 2014 I arrived in Trinidad yesterday at 9PM, made it through Customs without any problem and was picked up by Mike Corbett at the airport. He then took me to Jean and Mike’s boat SV Tomorrow’s Dawn to stay for the night. This was very much appreciate and very generous of them […]
Saturday, June 21, 2014 We arrived home Tuesday morning with Kathleen, Phil’s sister picking us up at the airport. It was good to see her, and we enjoyed catching up with her and Virginia, Phil’s other sister whom we will live with this summer. Here is photo of the three of them looking at pictures […]
Thursday, June 12, 2014 Peake Yacht Services, Chaguaramas, Trinidad I know it’s been a long time for me posting. I’m sorry, but I just haven’t felt like it. This trip has been so different than the first time and not as enjoyable for me. Most of my updates have been going to my FB page […]

At first they were predicted to be 10-15 kts and we were planning on staying at Monument Beach anchorage off Stocking Island. Two things happened since yesterday’s weather. 1. […]
Wednesday, December 31, 2013 We left Normans Cay at 8am on a warm sunny day with wind 7-8 kts from the east. SV Going Knots and SV Angelica, both French Canadians, left within minutes of us. I can tell we have been here awhile as I saw a school of minnows and 2 gar fish […]
Most of the days spent in Little Harbour Cay from Dec 19 to Dec 24 were spent relaxing. We didn’t have much internet, but enough to get our a few emails before the internet went away. actually, I didn’t expect any but way in the distance we could see the Batelco tower with diffuse light […]
Tuesday, December 24 We started the engine at 645am and Phil raised the anchor while I listened to Chris Parker weather using head phones. It wasn’t too long until we were in the steeper waves in the cut and shallow water that I came up getting seasick down below. Then I had a great idea! […]
