Grocery shopping when you live on a boat can be a bit of a mission, so one of the most useful things we have aboard is our Tipke folding cart (link below). It's fantastic for grocery shopping and getting fuel when there's no fuel dock around. We've had ours since Gibraltar in March 2022 and haven't regretted it for a second - it makes provisioning at anchor or even a marina so much easier! See the Tipke Folding Cart here: https://amzn.to/3XirYe1 Now that we're in St Martin in the tropical Caribbean islands, we've been using it to visit the local SuperU and pick up provisions as well as a few French treats!

Join us in a travel adventure as we explore the history of Trinidad's abandoned tracking station, a relic of the Cold War era. This Caribbean island is home to an decommissioned US military facility, filled with crumbling structures and remnants of a bygone era. From the remnants of the giant radar dish to the eerie silence of the abandoned rooms, every step reveals a piece of history that's been left to decay.
