It's been announced that the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit is in Trinidad and Tobago this week for coordinated operations with the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force, explaining the helicopters flying over Chaguaramas yesterday. One of the listed locations for the exercises is Teteron Barracks, a military Trinidadian base right near the shipyards where many foreign sailing vessels are stored, including ours. For context, this area is located approximately 13.5 miles from Venezuela. The U.S. Embassy in Port of Spain said the training is aimed at tackling transnational threats, strengthening regional stability, and improving disaster-response capabilities. Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force officials added that the exercises support their efforts to reduce the flow of guns and drugs into Trinidad and Tobago.

As our Leopard 45 catamaran is lifted into the air and moved around on the hardstand our adventurous boat dog stays aboard! She is used to the boat being in motion, and loves nothing more than sailing around, watching dolphins and trying to figure out if they're friends or food 😂 Rose has been a liveaboard dog for 3+ years now, visiting 10+ countries across 3 continents. She's an absolute legend - the best boat dog we could have asked for! #boatdog #sailing #boatlife #trinidad

Trinidad was our Australian Shepherd's first experience of the jungle, and there's no doubt Rose loves it!! Near to where our sailing home is hauled out, there are some easy jungle trails that really showcase the natural beauty of Trinidad. This particular trail is the Covigne River Gorge, a hiking spot that takes you through the lush trees and tall bamboo, into steep gorges and up waterfalls. For a dog, it's a place to truly run wild and free! ______ After backpacking Asia, road tripping Europe and doing a bit of van life, we’re now exploring the world aboard our Leopard 45 catamaran.
