The safest location during the Hurricane season

[roadboat]

You keep saying that you are new at this. Weill you are a quick learner. Trinidad is THE place to be in the E Caribbean during hurricane season. Glad you like it. I spent every hurricane season there. Loved it. A high point of Trinidad is the culture home of calypso style music Harry Belafante launched Trinidad musical fame. Steel Pan music is amazing Jass Rock Classical. They do it all. I am a musician and got “plugged in” to the music performing there in clubs, concerts etc. Trinidad music scene is great.

Poke around and find some live music to enjoy. As far as danger, I never had any issues there. With my cruising I have lived in 18 countries and visited over 50. I have been robbed at gunpoint twice! Both in a very dangerous country. It is called …………………the United States of America. Just use common sense and as you are doing, talk to locals. PS find/befriend some locals and get “plugged in” to some good things there.

Daniela is a jewel and I'm very happy you are not willing to risk her safety and well being for the sake of views on YouTube. You protect her love and well being with all you have. Congrats on the sponsor. Beautiful and wet tour of the island. Be safe this hurricane season.

[newfiescreech]

Thanks for another great video, nice to see sailors sightseeing, and not trying to be glamorous or just drinking. Stay safe and have fun!

[suzettedupreez]

You two are absolutely a beautiful couple, and you have lots of love. Enjoy your time together 😊

Thank you for spotlighting my beautiful home country.

I really liked the tour of the boatyard. I think some sailing channels try too much to only focus on the sailing; Maybe afraid that people don't enjoy the other things. But I think for those of us that have never lived on a boat it's all very interesting, at least once or twice. I've met many people from Trinidad and worked with a few. I love their accent and work attitude, at least anecdotally.

Daniela is awesome and you both have a very natural welcoming presence on camera. Always makes me smile to see you two.

Great to see you guys safe an sound. Enjoying yourself.

[dustyrose]

[robertbailey]

[cathycampbell-nz]

Great to see some different innovative content 👏 👍Keep up the good works H&D👌

[rexnelson]

Beautiful top Dani! The step up in formality suits you. The pattern is interesting, the fabric blouses well, and the cut is flattering while still being conservatively suggestive. You have good taste and you wear it well.

[mindshelfpro]

Nice video. Would not mind a longer video. Enjoy your stay in sweet T&T!

[louis]

Can't wait for it

Thank you that brings back a lot of memories from my frequent visits to Trinidad in the 80’s and 90’s if you had visited Independence square you would have been treated to the best food from the food trucks.

Beryl was an intense, but very small hurricane (diameter of the system). At it's most intense, the winds were 140 kts but they dropped rapidly with the distance from the eye.
