When you grow up surrounded by commercial fishing boats, you develop a very deep, sincere and genuine respect for these types of vessels. As a schoolboy, I used to watch fisherman head out to sea in some dreadful conditions...Some were lost at sea...Which is one of the reasons why, decades later, I volunteered for the RNLI in one of the busiest coastal S&R stations in the UK...If you love trawler, expedtion and explorer style motor yachts, then head to the link in my bio!

In the almost 2 years we've spent in Trinidad repairing our boat in the shipyard and on anchor we've made some amazing friends. Before we left, we wanted to catch up with two of them for one last lime. Both incredible cooks we had curried goat for dinner then after a swim the next morning to recover from the late night, tucked into some tasty curried duck. Can't wait to see them again, on this island or another!
