Tuesday 30th April – Thursday 2nd
May
We left the mooring in Portsmouth and sailed the
20 miles down the coast to Roseau, the capital of Dominica. We tied up to a
buoy, and were persuaded to take a trip to the rainforest and the waterfalls
with “Spray” the following day. We were a bit disappointed with Roseau as the
description in the pilot book made it sound better than we thought it was. We
took a dingy ashore and visited the Anchorage hotel and had a beer and then
decided to eat on board.
The next day we had our trip with Bobby Brown as
our guide. The scenery is spectacular and the walks to the waterfalls
enjoyable.
On the way back to Roseau, we stopped at a
small holding where the lady farmer sold us papaya, coconut water (supposed to
be very good for you). The farm grew coconuts, watercress, mangoes, papaya
etc.
 When we got back to Roseau after a trip to the
supermarket to restock, we booked a table in the Fort Young Hotel then realised
the dock outside the hotel was not suitable for a dinghy so cancelled it and ate
on board.
The following day we left for
Martinique. |
