Life jackets should be on at all times and your crew should be wearing their life jackets as well. Wanted to share this but we teach people to always wear life jackets while out on sea.
Thanks for this Emile, I do agree with you to a very great extent and those that have done my classes and go out with me, will, I think attest to this fact. Would love to add to this comment, but will do so on another thread, since your point is well taken and I am in full agreement :) !! Thank you for commenting!
I filled the fuel tank full at Chaguaramas, that is a 100 gallon tank, and I carried an extra drum of approx 400 TTD of super in case of emergency, we had a proxy 1/4 tank of the boat fuel tank unused when we designated at Charlotteville.
Thanks, I used approx $700 TTD in gas to get over having spare fuel in the main tank left over and a full spare tank of gas seen on deck. We ran at 3500 + rpm from Sando to the First Bocas, and then 2800-3500 rpm most of the crossing.
Do you mean take a boat from San Fernando Yacht Club to Tobago or to store a boat there ? If you mean to go to Tobago with a small boat ... It would be either very very unlikely anyone would be willing to take you based on risks, sea sickness of passengers etc., better of taking ferry or flying and enjoying Tobago by Boat when you get to the island .... does this help ?
@@kranthikumarreddy144 There is no way I can explain everything about planning a trip to Tobago here ... I will mention some key points .... 1. One needs ideally a 26 foot deep V hull boat with two good working engines and enough fuel. 2. The captain should have good experience with varied sea conditions, the north can be calm, but winds and seas pick up without warning and an unskilled captain can have problems, ideally they know how to navigate by compass. 3. Proper planning is a must, and if you are at SFYC, there are many resources to call upon there with regard to planning. 4. Don't take to many people, especially those prone to motion sickness! Nothing beats experience .... make a few trips to maracas bay at least before venturing to Tobago,. 5. If you make a trip follow the coastline of Trinidad to Matelot then when you see Tobago on a clear and calm day ... head over! 6. Seek proper guidance !!!
Great video. Pirogues are some of the best rough water boats on earth.
Surely makes me miss home sweet home and my DiveTNT family 💙 Videography on point by the way!
Thank you Crystal, that is not of us missing Sweet TnT
Was DEFINITELY a fun trip!! Need to do it again!!
Fuh sure … this time i sleeping like Junior on back seat
nice run ron
Morning Dredd, thanks, and see you in Trini soon !
@@oceanificinc nice
Very informative video. Ride looked a little rough in the North, which is not unusual.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! North is usually a bit rough with the winds and prevailing currents, not unusual, it was not a bad day all in all.
How long did it last....i would love to try it but i get sea sick on small boats so i usually use the plane to go across tobago

How much fuel did you buy😊
I filled the fuel tank full at Chaguaramas, that is a 100 gallon tank, and I carried an extra drum of approx 400 TTD of super in case of emergency, we had a proxy 1/4 tank of the boat fuel tank unused when we designated at Charlotteville.
any longer footage of the trip accros?
I did have some more Jémarc, but cut it shorter cause I thought it might be a touch boring for all the bumps and waves :)
Will do a longer one for the next trip over.
nice video . how much money in gas did the boat used to go?
