Avast my intrepid readers!
Yes we are back aboard S/Y Piano at Crews Inn! The homeward flight was comfortable with the chaos at the newly refurbished South Terminal. After no machines being able to check us in we resorted to customer help. They told us we had been upgraded so had new seat allocation then printed off the new details for us. Onto baggage drop off and the same thing happened! so more intervention to get the hold baggage checked in. Hey ho the joys of modern technology....
So our arrival back to Trinidad was again very pleasant nice and warm and Piano was just as we had left her. Enough time to unpack and have a bite to eat then off to bed after a very long day.
We checked in with the net the following morning and I went shopping at West Mall for essentials.
Since then we have been working hard to get the old lady ready for the end of the Hurricane season. Both the morning net and local papers, radio are full of the devastation up island. The list seems endless, from Antigua and Barbuda up to St Barths , St Martin, Montserrat, the British Virgin Islands , Puerto Rico, Turks and Caicos, places we have visited frequently and others we haven't been to yet . are all like war zones. Many countries are sending aid although getting it ashore and distributed on non existing roads must be a nightmare.
My blog is short we continue to move along but I fear the sailing season will be short this year. When the hurricane season ends (mid November) we should be ready to move again I'll write more when there is something more pleasant to tell you.
