Went to Reggae night at Big Papa's last night which was very amuzing and then an early start to be taken up the Indian River after dawn. Basically a brackish mangrove with superb wildbirds and tropical plants as far as the eye can see! One area of the swamp was used to make the set of Pirates of the carib 3 when they all went to Calypso's den. No sign now as they had to remove all trace. Our guide was called James Bond and he was both knowledgeable and hilarious. see phot with his gift to the ladies - a bit touristy considering we were the only people there!!.
 
Left Dominica after the river trip for a 3 hour sail North to the outlying islands of Guadalope. Fairly rough sea and 22 kts made it a rough ride with wind angle of 45-60 degrees apparent. Arrived to a very busy anchorage in Les Saintes in which it is still blowing and the boat is rolling all over the place.
 
Tommorrow we head north to the main centre of Guadalope with the plan to meet Sarah and James on saturday. This time we are on schedule!!
