Jeg håber og tror vi kan gøre turen på max. 21 dage, så med afgang fra Tenerife den 23. november, skulle vi gerne være fremme på Barbados 14. december, hvis det er den destination vi vælger. Det kan være vi ændrer destinationen og sejler direkte til Tobago, da det vil give flere dage der, inden Ali og Andre' skal afmønstrer den 22. december.
Foreløbig har vi indkøbt flg. bøger:
Saltwater Fish, så vi kan se hvilken fisk det er, der er på krogen, hvis vi fanger nogen.
Based on the award-winning reference book Ken Schultz's Fishing Encyclopedia, this handy field guide compresses the essence of its bestselling predecessor into a more manageable, compact size. Arranged alphabetically by species, each entry covers the identification, size/age, distribution, habitat, life history/behavior, and feeding habits of each fish. This fully illustrated, full-color guide makes it easy to identify what's at the end of your line. You'll learn how to distinguish an Atlantic mackerel from a Spanish mackerel, for instance; why you might mistake a cobia for a shark or a remora; how the red grouper's saddle spot will help you tell it apart from a Nassau grouper; and so much more.
Grenada, der er en "turistguide" om øen og øens historie.
Since its decimation by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, the three-island state of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique has been rebuilt, renovated and improved. These islands are once more open for business, and enjoying a newfound prosperity as visitor numbers increase year on year. Grenada has national parks that teem with wildlife and trekking opportunities through forests of nutmeg, avocado and mango trees. Neighboring Carriacou is one of the Caribbean’s top diving destinations and Petit Martinique is a laid-back paradise with unspoilt, secluded beaches.
Trinidad & Tobago, som fortæller om disse øer. Jeg var på Trinidad i 1979, men kom aldrig uden for hovedstaden Port of Spain. Om jeg når et besøg på Trinidad denne gang, ved jeg ikke, men jeg glæder mig rigtig meget til at komme til den mindre ø - Tobago. Der er færgeforbindelse mellem de 2 øer, så hvis vi ikke gider at sejle selv, kan vi tage færgen til Trinidad.
The Rough Guide to Trinidad and Tobago is the definitive guide to the most exciting and unexplored of the Caribbean islands. The full-colour section introduces the islands’ diverse highlights from tropical bird watching in Northern Trinidad and the secluded wave-whipped sand at Tobago’s Pirates bay, to hiking in the forested peaks of the Northern range. This updated fourth edition gives expert background on everything from exotic wildlife to Trinidad’s flamboyant pre-Lenten Carnival celebrations. You’ll find detailed coverage of Trinidad’s best hikes, where to watch turtles laying eggs and sample the island’s delicious cuisine, as well as an appraising rundown of what to do in Tobago, Trinidad’s more tourist-oriented sister isle. The Contexts section provides informed coverage of the islands’ history, politics and current affairs, as well as the low-down on soca, calypso and steelpan, religion, fauna and flora, and books, while the patois glossary unpicks local slang. This guide comes complete with clear maps and practical information on accommodation and transportation; and recommendations of all the best places for eating, drinking, and music.
