Needing to get further north, we decided to sail overnight, a large moon shining brightly, and passed St Lucia and Martinique.  We prefer to get to know places well and so have left these islands for a future visit.  We arrived at Dominica late afternoon and anchored of the village of Portsmouth in Prince Rupert Bay.

 

The island is delightful and quite amazing and we have been on a boat trip up the Indian River (no engines allowed, so our guide, Martin, had to row eight of us with an adverse current!).  We’ve been hiking round the Cabrits National Park and also went on a guided hike into the rainforest.
