Greetings loyal Tobagiphiles,well Paul was right---at about 3pm Wednesday,it started to rain a couple of heavy showers thenit brightened up towards sunset.
Yesterday awoke to an absolute cloudless sky.AS the day progressed some light cloud built up to give light shower at 3pm.That went then it was a beautiful day/night.The temperature in Scarboro'at 10 am yesterday was 34C!
Today we have had a couple of light showers but nothing to bad.It does seem tbe looking like sunshine and showers.
Good luck to frozen northeners and fog bound Brits,I promise I am not jealous of you

Hi David
Greetings from Doha Qatar. Wall to wall sunshine but not as hot as you. Max 24C but very pleasant and nice to be away from the fog and cold. Have realised due to various time changes we will be able to celebrate three Christmas day welcome toasts - one here, then for you in Tobago, and then one to Steve in the UK oh and I almost forgot Bill in good ol USA. Ah well life isn't bad.
Have a good time one and all and may peace be upon your cooking pots

Good morning,well yesterday deteriorated drasticaly.It started to rain about 1230pm and then got worse so bad I had to stay in---couldn't get to the bar 20yards away.So it was a stay in with a book and red wine!
Today has started out with some very high cloud which is drifting gradually to the wsw.Behind it it looks quite clesr --fingers crossed.
That's all for now folks be back on Boxing Day-have a good Christmas,
David

Hi David,
Seems like you are asking for rain? Hopefully the hard rain falls now and leaves the sunshine for when we are coming.

Poor David, no chance to go to the bar but fortunately you has some wine in the house

Best whishes

David,

It's good to know that you take your sport seriously and do the proper conditioning before the main event. Too many amateurs fail to train and as a result fall flat on their face before reaching the end. I'm confident that at midnite you will stagger across the finish line as a true champion

Can't wait to join you. 17 days and counting.

Bill

Hi Bill
Words of wisdom indeed. Failed miserably over the last few days and I am afraid I am not the well honed athlete I thought I was but with help am determined to stay the course and fortunately just found out "hic I'm not as thunk as drinkle peep I am hic"

Happy New Year to you all
only 3 days to go before back in the shivering cold of the UK.

Hi folks,
I'm sure that I come well prepared to Tobago.
In Germany we had a four weeks training camp (world-cup 2006) this summer.
But I think for drink with David it isn't enough.
I hope that I become a better condition in the next two weeks.

All the best for the next year !!

Two weeks to go.......

Hi Peter,

not even the World Cup training camp could prepare you for a drink with David.... but the "Braunlibärs" don't look like they have to hide.

Enjoy your holidays!

Cheers

Hello Peter,

It looks like you will be in Castara the same time as we are (12 days to go for us). Looking forward to meeting you. Perhaps between us we can keep up with David

Bill

Peter Kuhn · Post by **Peter Kuhn** » Thu Jan 04, 2007 6:29 am

Yes Bill,

it sounds that together we have a better chance to overlive the meeting with David

David,

Good to hear from you. I was starting to get a little worried and was afraid you might still be under a table somewhere

Glad the weather is clearing up. We'll see you soon (10 days and counting)

Bill

Peter Kuhn · Post by **Peter Kuhn** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 6:25 pm

Hi David,
good to hear that everything is ok

Now I'm starting my last working days till tuesday.
After that I have enough time to cool down and to organise my baggage for the trip.

I'm not sure on what day we make our trip to Castara.
It can be that we come with my friend Markus with his sailboat and have one overnight on board at Castara bay.
It depends on if he has 3 days without charter.
Otherwise we come with the car for a day trip.
It would give us a great pleasure when we meet you again and maybe see also Bill for a little carib on that day.

Enjoy your days at Castara

Peter (.....9 days to Carib time

It is sunny again!!!!!The last few days have been almost perfect,showers early morning and beautiful days and weirdly always going overcast at about 3pm for an hour.
I am told that the reason that the internet is down is that they are speeding it up?!!!!!
Cheers all,David

Bill B · Post by **Bill B** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 5:47 pm

David,

That's the same reason why you have to press "Start" when you want to stop your computer

Glad the weather is about perfect (and according to Paul it's going to stay that way).

7 days and counting.

Bill

Hi Chaps

The trades are starting to ease a little and high pressure is decreasing in the Atlantic.

There is moisture in the Atlantic and moisture is expected to develop in the western Caribbean.

Tobago should stay much drier but there may be an increase in the number of localised showers towards the weekend ... still be plenty of sunshine though.

Regards
