ROSEAU

 

After a short 3 hour sail we arrived at Roseau the capital of Dominica. We were greeted by a boat boy called Pancho who secured us to a mooring buoy for the evening. 5 boats had sailed down from Prince Rupert Bay and a group of us decided to go into the Capital for a wander around, so Pancho collected us from our boats and took us ashore where he had arranged a taxi for us. We were dropped off at a fresh fruit and vegetable market that ran from Friday evening through to Saturday evening. It was a hive of activity and a great place to people watch as was the local bar! We finished the evening off with a traditional Creole meal and  Pancho was waiting as arranged on the jetty to ferry us back to our boats. So useful!

Tomorrow we head to Martinique.
