Celebrating 31 years

Tobago Cays, Grenadines

We arrived at the Tobago Cays, after a short motor sail from Canouan, to find most of the moorings taken and the anchorage pretty full. In the end this worked out well for us, as we anchored away from the crowds, between the reef and the islands with a clear view of the white sand beaches. Since we were not up against the reef, our location protected us from the daily assault of charter boats fighting for position while learning how to anchor.

We were looking forward to spending time in the Cays, as last year we had to cut our visit short so we were could get back home before the start of hurricane season.

The snorkeling was as good as we remembered and we spent a couple of hours ever day trying out a different part of the reef. Each of them were impressive. This is one of the best spots to snorkel in the Caribbean.

While in the Cays we celebrated the anniversary of our first meeting, 31 years ago, with a bottle of sparkling wine on the beach and a lobster dinner. We spent the afternoon lying on the beach reminiscing about the night we met aboard the Berkeley in San Diego.

Later, a boat boy came by with what he said was a 7 pound lobster, so we bought it and cooked it up as part of the celebration.

It’s hard to believe we have known each other for 31 years!
