A Great
Welcome for Wandering Dream as she arrives in Trinidad
A small boat
load of well wishers, waving Trinidad flags came out to officially welcome WD
and her crew to Trinidad (Jane and Bruce's family). Later, after two hours of
immigration and customs formalities were completed the entire crew were
accommodated in an apartment in near Port of Spain - many thanks to Jane and her
mum, Elena for organising real beds! A lovely party was hosted by Anita and
Richard (Bruce's Mum and Dad) with many of Bruce and Jane's relations enjoying
roti and drinks with us all
Next day, saw
Stuart being whisked away to the airport and kith and Kin. The remaining crew
moved Wandering Dream from Crew's Inn to Power Boats where she will remain until
hauled out in January for a little TLC.
Steve, Bruce,
Bill and Denis enjoyed the luxury of a washing machine, showers and available
shops. Steve had his broken tooth repaired by Jane's brother Tim. Thank goodness
that was sorted out before the Christmas food was munched
through!
We all
attended a genuine local Trini party, bought Christmas pressies and visited the
local mangrove swamps to see Scarlet Ibis coming in to
roost.
On the 21st
Dec 2014, Steve and Denis' respective families arrived and we left WD to travel
by speed boat down d'islands.
