It's good to reach a marina after a few weeks at anchor and it really was time for Prim to have engine and generator service, so we're spending a few days here.  The guy who is doing the engine service is very good, has found various things extra to fix - so he's back for day two today.  Hopefully will have the engine things sorted, then move on to replacing hose for the watermaker and other bits and bobs.

 


Our arrival here was a bit precipitous, we could not raise the marina on channel 9 and we're not sure if we had to drop the rib - which we did at very short notice.  We're now parked with the big boys - a few superyachts and super stink boats out of Grand Cayman, but Guadeloupe is very French, and the facilities here seem to be better than Martinique.

 

Here's some pictures of our trip down Indian river on Dominica, plus some guys who arrived shortly after us, having done the Atlantic the hard way!
