What a bad blogger I have been recently and I fear that this update is going to be somewhat short as I already have one foot in the dinghy (or at least in my spirit) ready to go out for some pizza and beer. The main big news is that I have extended my stay in Trinidad with an additional three weeks. After already several of weeks here I still feel I haven’t seen anything of the country and having traveled half across the world I would hate going home without having visited at least one sandy–white beach down here. Moreover, I have changed my boat (the Outlier was hauled up) and I’m now living on The Flying Buzzard, and once you are here there is no turning back.
The Captains and owners of the Flying Buzzard are Jules and Mick and on the boat are Julian from Argentina, Toby the dog and two Indonesians. Despite having sworn they would not return it seems like they were magically drawn towards Trinidad. Thus, just around the 23rd of July the Flying Buzzard returned to Trinidad. And like The Buzzard was drawn to Trinidad as by some magic force I too was drawn to the Flying Buzzard and I quickly became a daily visitor on the boat
My fist week as a permanent member of the Flying Buzzard has been rather hectic as Jules and Mick’s wedding is coming up tomorrow, hence the last 7 days has consisted of banging rust, painting and cleaning the Flying Buzzard to make it ready for the big day. More to come on the big day and my adventures next week.
