A church with a view


With the generous help from "Veto's" Knut Eirik, Oernulf has got the corroded terminals of the anchor winch fixed. I have been drawing the view from the bow, but am willing to swim over to Veto for a cup of morning coffee.

It's a hot steep climb up to the village and the Catholic Church, from the bay. But the view is worth the sweat! Behind the small stone church is a panorama view of the sea, including all of Tobago Cays right below. the sand distinctly turqoise, the reefs darker blue. Masts and palms are swaying in the swell and the breeze.

Come evening, the various kiddies of "Veto" and "Christiania" are re-distributed according to age to see dvd movies. The adults, with "Babette", have an evening out, under swaying palms. It's dark and warm, with a cool breeze from the windward side. We sit round the big stone tables in the palm huts of the Saltwhistle Restaurant, sampling their various potions. the men withe rum punches, the women with pina colada, a coconut drink. With a punch, too!
