Sunday afternoon lime 'down the islands'

There is a chain of islands off the north west coast of Trinidad (in the direction of Venezuela).
If you head out to that area - whether it is to anchor your boat in a secluded bay or stay at a cottage/house on one of the islands - it is called 'going down the islands'. We quite enjoy it. It is a social afternoon - folks bring cutters (aka snacks/appetizers), there is usually a well stocked bar and music. Friends with boats come and go.
There is usually a BBQ fired up...and some of the guests get fired up as well. It is one of the great experiences of living in Trinidad. Going down the islands is a treat for us. We meet new friends each time we do it and it is a fun time for the two of us to spend some time together.

At the end of the day, we cruise back to Port of Spain. B.
