VEGGIES AND FRUITS:
The selection of fruits and vegetables in Trinidad is very disappointing. Depending what season it is you have a better selection. Sharad will take orders and deliver them to the marina you are.

VETERINARIAN:
Dr Wade is a wonderful vet and will make boat calls, he helped us to fix all the stray cats we trapped. (868) 735 3530

WOODWORK:
for any wood work call Randolf from Same Crew C: (868) 779 1232
he is a very honest, hard working guy and very reliable, which is hard to find in Trinidad.
His work is outstanding and he'll get it done before the time limit he gives you. His price is much better than all the other carpenters who unfortunately have gotten too greedy.
Randof also does an super job on corian counters!

Do not use a carpenter named Lenox, he is unreliable and will not honor the quote he gives you. He just threatened a friend of ours with an icepick refusing to leave the boat until he gets his money which he added 3000 TT to the bill.

LE GRANDE ALMANDIER HOTEL: spend a couple of days in this cute hotel and watch the turtles lay eggs. Hotel is located in Grand Riviere. PH: 1 868 670 1013
