Sampo is ours and we are sailing to Grenada!

Hi,

We have finally got the original bill of sale per FedEx (yesterday) and now we are free to sail the Caribbean! That is to say, if the Customs here in Chaguaramas find our bill of sale okay, because normally they want it to be notarized and ours is only signed from two witnesses. So we will see if we can clear out tomorrow...

The engine seems to work okay and we got it checked from a professional as well. We have put up all the sails at least once, and are fixing the last things before we are leaving. Tomorrow morning we will stock up some last things like fresh food (and among these things we also hope we will find pillows!). Can't really understand how pillows can be sold out everywhere except for one shop, where we unfortunately didn't buy the pillows.

Tonight we are invited to "Baby", who is cooking at the Diego Martin Pan Institute and he also has a restaurant of his own, or it is actually familyowned. So Cathy and Clyde from the Pan institute come to pick us up in about half an hour.

One evening Cathy, Clyde and Baby came out to see us on our boat Sampo. We barbecued some fish with my new favourite herb, shadon beni, on our new BBQ. We also bought some CDs from Clyde and got them signed.

Yesterday we went out to Scotland Bay to celebrate my birthday. Peter made some nice barbecued beef and Cola with rum. At first it was blowing quite a lot and in the night it became very calm. But we could still here the monkeys howling...

Denise is running around in the internet café and I think it is time to stop for this time. We will write some more later, but we appreciate hearing from you as well.

So, take care every one, enjoy life and till next time!

Best wishes,
Charlotte, Peter and Denise
