Where in Dominica anchored in Portsmouth Harbour took a trip up Indian River
with Albert one of the local boat men, no engines are allowed in the river
Albert rows you in and tells you all about the flora and fauna. Scenes from
Pirates of the Caribbean where shot here and this morning there was a film
crew there again and we couldn't enter till they had finished.
We visited Guadeloupe on the way down that's where Deshaies Botanic Garden
is
about one mile uphill from the anchorage well worth the walk. From
Guadeloupe we went
to The Saintes a group of small islands which are French very different from
other places
very French- little boutiques and small restaurants and every one on
scooters.
Had quite a bit of wind coming down gusting to 40 knots but we sailed well
with a reefed
in main and the genoa out. The swell was the more worrying up to 9 feet just
off the bow
Off again in the morning to Martinique for a couple of days then St Lucia
after that(where we started from)
