We have for several years dreamt of sailing from Norway to the Caribbean. We are now on our way in our little ship "Bonanza", and we'll keep you updated on this page.

Union Island

After a great time in Englishmans bay snorkelling, and in Charlotteville, renting car and walking in the rainforest, we left Tobago yesterday evening heading for Union Island. After 18 hours with 2,5 m waves and wind of force 6(estimated because our wind instrument is not calibrated yet, it shows too low wind), we could anchor outside Cliffton on Union Island. Even tough almost every leak has been sealed, a new leak was discovered in the anchor locker in the bow, causing wet cloths and water on the floor. So, when a project is done, always a new one appear.

Now it is raining heavily and Arild and Froystein discovered they had alot of Trinidad and Tobago dollars left in their wallets. Unhappily they cannot change it into the local currency here even if it is neighbour countries. Not very logical, but if anybody need 360 TT dollars, just tell us...
