Hi, can anyone please tell me if Keith from A Team Tours is still in Tobago. If so does anyone have a contact number /email ? Last known whereabouts a fantastic rum punch party at no mans land.

Hi Mark

Welcome aboard!

Keith, the limbo king of No Man's Land. Yes, he's still in business, but as far as I know hasn't got a website or email address. I haven't got a contact number for him either. He can normally be found selling his tours at either Grafton or Turtle Beach. He doesn't have a boat, but when he can get a party together, hires one of the larger operators to provide the transport.

If Brian or Steph (Alibaba) read this, I'm sure they will know his number because they often provide their boat to him.

We brought 2 packets of Bisto and some English mango chutney on special request from Keith's other half (Sue?) on our last visit, but they were nowhere to be seen, and didn't answer the phone or mobiles. I can't remember what we did with that stuff? If you find him, please let him know that we tried!

Steve, Claire and Jack.

Well Steve, I am sure that if Keith is in Tobago when we visit, we will certainly know of his presence !!
Hopefully I will let them know you hunted high & low.. Just out of curiosity, when was your last visit ?

Hi Mark

Our last visit was through last Jan and Feb. We'll be heading back early January next, through to mid-March.

Oh no! too many Steve's.

I'm not sure which Steve you were addressing, but we last visited in Dec 2003/Jan 2004. Sue booked us a place in advance at Bonkers for New Year which ended up a bit dull (not your fault Sue!), as the live music and fireworks didn't show up, but as I said, we didn't see her at all. Does that mean that we were here at the same time as the great Steve Wooler?

We last saw Keith and Sue the year before (Jan 2003) when we arrived at New Year and got the hard sell from Keith at Pigeon Point.

Steve, Claire and Jack.

Oops! I think he may have been replying to you, Steve. Whenever a post is made, I get an immediate email notification, so I don't actually come into the forum in the same way as you. It saves a huge amount of time, but does mean that I don't see the whole thread of questions leading up to the post I'm responding to. In this case, I saw "Steve" and knew it was a thread I'd made comment in, so thought he was speaking to me.

All of which is totally beside the point, so I'll just shut up and bxxxxx off.

Silly me.. :oops:

steve, Claire & Jack, now Steve Wooler is giving all his techie details away.

We stayed at The Toucan & Keith appeared quite a few evenings with the hard sell. Strangely enough most people felt obliged. The words "Man Mountain" seem to stick in my mind.

Still puzzles me to this day how that body mass could fit below the bar on the Limbo..

Thanks very much Brian

Its been a couple of years since the good lady & myself visited Tobago. We took a trip with Keith & had a wonderful time. Can't remember the boat we used but it was all good fun. Even had a quick rain shower on the way back to store bay, didn't interupt the dancing & party atmosphere.

Also had one of our trips to Sunday School with Keith, just as enjoyable as you would expect. Can't praise the mans hospitality enough.

Will be looking out for you in a couple of weeks (sorry you envious people reading this)

If you happen to be in contact with Keith, would mind asking if theres anything he wants bringing out from the U.K. That might be Sues Department though....

Cheers Mark

You could try Bisto Gravy and English Mango Chutney! :P

Aaaaaaghhhhh Bisto, thanks for the suggestion Steve F. I was considering what you said in your post yesterday.
Was there any preference on the Chutney do you know? :lol: I know you said Mango.

Cheers Mark

As I recall, Sue's (A-Team's) request was for Sharwoods Green Label chutney. She will be so surprised!

Could be that she will have a constant supply if everyone else reads this!

Well Steve the mind boggles now....

Just picture walking through customs, "excuse me Sir, do you have anything to declare?"

"No, Sir"

"Well could you please explain why you might need 12 packs of Bisto & 48 jars of Mango Chutney"

I am sure this will be a talking point now, when we eventually catch up with The "A Team"......

Cheers Mark

hi mark
A-team mostly goes on glass bottom boats with bigger crowds, for a smaller group it might as well have been our boat since he's chartering it usually. hope you'll get in touch with him. always nice to see people returning to tobago....

Brian, maybe you can help me. A couple of years ago, we went on a boat trip to Buccoo reef, and it was (surprisingly) really good. A year later went again and it was dismal.

For the first trip four years ago, we went with a chap called "Jay Cipriani" or something. He took us on Calypso Empress, which was much more stable than some of the other boats, and had a very large viewing area in the glass bottom. I've not been able to find him since, and I heard that he wasn't allowed to tout on Pigeon point anymore, after he bought a drink for a local who hadn't paid to get on the beach!

Are some reef trips better targetted than others, or is the reef just generally dying at Buccoo? Finally, any idea where Jay ended up?

Steve.

hello steve
jay is still there, still operating from pigeon point still with the same boat...don't have a number, but hes there!
the reef is unfortunately showing some signs of the polution (like all over the world) but it is still beautyfull. you must know wich areas to go to and when... thats why we go (no glass bottom) when the crowd is not there yeat, or gone already...
there is a buccoo reef fund working on saving the reef and I hope they are going to be succesfull!
maybe I meet you there...

Sue Mango Chutney & Bisto

I am very happy to say I now have received the gift of Mango Chutney and Bisto. Very pleased they got through customs :!:
My husband "Man Moutain" or more locally known as Keith is still doing his Reef BBQ and of course limbo with out hitch. We do have email;[email protected] or phone 868-631-0531. I thank all who have been kind enough to remember the Chutney and or Bisto but confess it is the Big Man who is the major consumer of these items.
I am surprised that some of our returning visitors do not catch up with us, for we are on the Island through out the year apart from our yearly trip back to the UK to visit family and friends.
Best regards to all friends Sue, ATEAM TOURS

He came down to Sunday School with us and wow what a mover, great dancer and makes all the ladies feel 21 again. no wonder he gets all those bookings :wink: . We also took a trip out on a boat for a bbq and snorkelling trip, had a fabulous day. well worth doing. Finally to his wife Sue, any tips on how to find another like Keith :?:
