Ok the new guide has been out a while now, so I have removed the old updates to the previous version. Included below are cruiser updates that offer new information  from the updated guide:

The immigration office at Charlottteville has been unmanned now for some time. The customs office is for the time being still open at Charlotteville, but if clearing in or out of T+T you will first be directed to take a taxi to scarborough to be granted immigration clearance.

An oil drilling platform was positioned 27km north of Charlotteville in November 2007. It is understood to be moving position early in 2008. A 500m exclusion zone has been announced.

Hi Chris. I had a number of charts copied by Sean Young, for myself and others, in July.  He did an excellent job with pick up and delivery to Chaguaramas, usual turnaround 1 day..  Currently he charges $1TT/square foot, and the largest chart we had was $13 TT.  The paper is a little thin but if you are nice to it it should last.  He can be reached at 625-8215.

Chris's comment:  Please only copy those charts (like NOAA) that do not have copyright.

Dear Mr Doyle
 
The latest guide mentions using the Coco Reef beach for dinghy landing if
using their restaurants. Please be advised that there is a 125TT charge
for beaching your dinghy and this still applies if using their
restaurant!!!
