South West to Canouan, leaving it to port and then look for the leading marks to line up for the channel into the Tobago Cays.

Beautiful clear water, white beaches, palm trees, and a sandy bottom. This is how I expected the Caribbean to be.

Anchor down, Guy back to Crevette and here I am alone again on Havika III with only a coral reef and the little island of Petite Tabac between me and Africa.

Dig out the snorkel and flippers and over to the reef to try out my dive camera. Only inside the reef though, it is ok being on my own but I could do with someone else around, for safety’s sake.

Oops getting ito the water from a dinghy is a lot easier than getting back into the dinghy on your own..  Remember to fit a grab rope next time!

Back towards the boat, watching out for the coral heads that lie in wait just below the surface, lift the outboard before it hits one..

Run ashore to meet up with the others on the nearby beach for a few drinks and a bit of a barbeque and back aboard for the night, leave the VHF on in case Guy needs to call in the night…  

Oops a call from one of the others, they were getting their outboard off of the dinghy and forgot to tie the painter on, one crew member adrift without oars or engine. On my way..
