We arrived at Roseau - Dominica about 4.30 after leaving Martinique about 7.30am.  We had a good sail but the winds were very variable.  it was pretty hot at times.We saw a pod of whales not far from the boat on the journey.
When we arrived at Roseau boat boy Dexter greeted us and took us to a buoy owned by his family just outside a diving school. 
We decided to have a drink in the bar and went ashore.  We had Rum Punch, probably the best we have tasted so far and ended up in staying for 3 which was a mistake we realised when we stood up to leave. 
They are very nice, but very strong.
So early night on the boat.  Again the water was crystal clear and there was a big turtle swimming near to the boat.
