| Miami to Trinidad in 6 weeks and we found a super nice place
We just arrived in Charaguamas, Trinidad and checked into the Crews Inn Marina, which is located directly across the bay from Coral Cove and is where the Customs dock is located. This is a lovely location with very well built docks, superb facilities and a huge, covered boat maintenance hanger. There are cameras everywhere and 24/7 manned security patroling the grounds and the docks. It is not the cheapest in price but I suspect it is as safe as you can get.
Crews Inn is also a very nice hotel with a beautiful pool and pool bar available to their live aboard cruiser/guests. The have a new laudrette with large machines, a great gym, a pastry and coffee shop and a first class resterant that also provides meal service poolside. The prices include water, cable tv, phone and daily delivery of the local newpaper to your boat. The car rental company, local grocery store, dive shop, telecommunications shop and many other service providers have set up shop at the crews inn mini mall development, which appears to be new construction and very nice.
I am suprised nobody mentioned this place in this thread. I suggest you check this place out.
By the way, our trip from Miami was to windward until St Maartin and it was hard work. We sailed over several nights to make up lost time due to repairs needed while in Miami. It's hard work but worth every second. The Grenadines are beautiful, Tobago Cay is one of our favorite locations and the sailing is magnificent. We have decided to sail these waters for at least one more year and make the Crews Inn our hurricane home.
