Exciting Memorial Day on the Chicken

We left Grenada because it was a "holiday" on Monday only to find out it yet a another Holiday in Trinidad on Wednesday.   Yikes.  Someones got to make a calendar of this stuff.
87+ miles under our belt today and tucked in a slip at Crews Inn, Trinidad.  Wouldn't you know it, a white out rain squall came in just as we approached the marina, and without the bow thruster.  Fortunately it was more rain than wind.  No problems Mon.  Some of you may recognize Crews' Inn...
Later, all three pc's at work.  We expect haul out on Thursday and catch a flight out on Friday.  Wednesday is an "Indian Immigration" holiday so no work or haul out will done then.  We have the worst luck on hitting ports on a local "holiday".  I really have to start a diary so we know about these things before they affect our schedule.  The guide books don't always warn you of these little oddities.  Pardon the dishes drying...where's the dish washer?....Oh yeah, we converted it to a plastic container drawer...  the stupid Fisher-Pakel.  Don't buy it.  Disappointed in CA and on the boat.
