Exploring uncharted Bays of Tobago 🇹🇹

While we were in Tobago we felt like we were running from impending waves and wind that the weather sites kept sending out yellow weather warnings about. We decided with the northerly swell and wind that was coming through and the prediction of 3m breaking waves on the north facing shorelines of Tobago - we would head over to the windward side. Because of the highly unusual weather pattern there wasn’t much information that we could find on any of the bays on the windward side. Luckily S/Y Puff was sitting in the same predicament as us and we decided to sit down together and discuss options. We decided to move around to Store Bay where a local charter company said we would be more protected but would need to anchor out in 20m of water. We anchored in 8m of water and decided to spend the night and figure out if it would provide the protection we needed. Store Bay did not! There was a lot of bouncing and rocking through the night so we pulled up the anchor and headed around to Barbados Bay - a beautiful, quiet and completely flat little bay. We hadn’t experienced such beautiful conditions since arriving in Tobago. There was a little fishing house to our one side that happily helped with watching our dingy and offering us fresh water to fill the yacht. We spent 2 nights here and then decided to make our way up the windward coastline with the plan to cross to Carriacou when the weather allowed. We moved up to Kings Bay. A beautiful still bay with no swell at all. The water looked like a mirror and we all battled to sleep with how quiet and still the yacht was! It was very unusual for us all 😂 we were the only ones in the huge beautiful bay. It was a sad goodbye to Trinidad and Tobago when we finally left their shorelines, we had made beautiful friends and met amazing people over our time there. While sailing away we were sent off with the most beautiful pod of dolphins escorting us out of the Trinidad and Tobago waters 💙
