TOBAGO, THE FIRST IMPRESSION


Sailing through the night under the bright stars, the persistent wind of 25 knots brought us to the SW tip of Tobago before the dawn. Not wanting to sail into the commercial Scarborough harbour in  the dark, we reduced the sails and slowly glided to the small anchorage, that serves for temporary stay, while reporting to the Immigration  and Customs. The harbour is like most, busy with ferries and other commercial boats. By the time we were done with the official business, it was to late to sail to more pleasant anchorage 15 NM away. We stayed the night enjoying the sight of well lit ships coming and going, and rocking on the waves they were making.
