Tobago Cay

Got an early start and headed to Customs where we had to “clear out” of Carriacou.  Then headed straight to Union Island where we had to “clear in” to St. Vincent and the Grenadines.  It cost 125 Eastern Caribbean $$ (EC) to clear in Grenada, 42 EC $$ to clear out, 254 EC to clear in at Union Island. Today, an EC is worth about 40 cents.  On the way over the seas were rough and, of course, that is when Jonathon catches a nice Spanish Mackeral that we made into Fish Tacos for dinner…yummy!  Before dinner we had lunch at Anchor Yacht Club while waiting for the Captain to clear in.  It didn’t live up to our 10 year old expectations/memories of THE BEST PIZZA around.  The nurse shark pond was still there but the lobster tank was long gone.    Quite a few Island Dogs hung around for our scraps.

From Union, we headed straight for Tobago Cays.  It is so beautiful, no explanation is needed.  Check out the large iguana roaming through the cactus…ouch!

Tomorrow we are going to explore Petit Tabac, where Captain Jack Sparrow (aka Johnny Depp in Pirates of The Caribbean) was stranded on a deserted Island.  It is surrounded by a reef and very hard to get to but we are going to do our best!

Well we didn’t make it across the reef but here is the photo of that infamous island.

After snorkeling with the sea turtles and crashing the beach BBQ of the Royal Clipper ship this afternoon, Jennifer decided we just had to have our own Beach BBQ so at sunset we headed over, cooked ourselves a wonderful dinner and stayed until after dark, making for a fun ride back to Jay Sea Dee…luckily we brought a flashlight and Jonathon came up with an ingenious use of the water bottle/nightlight.  Our best dinner experience yet!  Thanks Jenny!
