The final part of our Atlantic crossing wasn't straight forward. Trinidad is a big island and the anchorages are on the Western side, sheltered from the Atlantic swell. So once you sight land you still have a full day (or night in our case) of sailing to navigate the oil rigs, shipping and tidal inlets to get to port.
Once there you find the authorities treat private yachts the same as a bulk carrier of an oil tanker and the paperwork is off the scale! Really I thought carbon paper was a thing of the past, not in Trinidad.
Once checked in though we find lovely people and great facilities.
Many thanks to Jim Henshaw, US Merchant Navy Captain, for showing us around Audrey Rose.
