Tobago - Jan 15

Well, you can’t win them all. Our last Caribbean stop on Tobago ("To-bay-go") was nothing to write home about. Buccoo Reef and Pigeon Point Beach are allegedly normally superb but rain the previous night and high winds kept the water murky, the currents swift and the snorkeling dodgy. “Only strong and experienced swimmers should go off the boat.” Bob saw a black and yellow speckled parrotfish with a bright scarlet red belly underneath, which is why it is also called a “stoplight parrrotfish.” Picture below is from the Internet but that is exactly what it looks like.

Our next stop is Devil’s Island off the coast of French Guiana, site of the “Papillion” book and movie with Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. We will tender ashore to visit the abandoned prison.
