Padstow is hard to beat. Shame it's just a but to far from me for a two week family cruise.

Usually where my boat is moored. I mean, why have a mooring anywhere else?

One of my favourite harbours is........

..... the Tobago Cays in the Grenadines, 100 miles west of us

This photo was taken from the Webshots collection, and shows Petit Tobac in the distance, with the World's End reef surrounding it. The water is this clear - its quite magical to be anchored here at night with a full moon and a steady tradewind blowing - you almost feel like you are suspended in the air (as the water is so clear).
Beyond the barrier reef is almost 2,000 miles of ocean before you reach Africa.

Although the Cays are getting a bit commercialised now - I have heard talk of it now being compulsory to pick up moorings rather than dropping your own hook.
