The passage between Martinique and Dominica was a fine reach, though we didn't make the most of it as we were worried about arriving in time to check-in (and in the event missed it, so Tom's off there now).  The excitement of the passage came when Tom spotted a couple of whales basking in the mid-distance.  Of course, impossible to capture on camera and they didn't hang around for a photo shoot.  I've also spotted a Dolphin this morning, so things are looking up on the wildlife front. We are moored in Roseau, which is the Dominican capital and overnight a huge cruise ship has parked on the jetty just 500 yds away from us.  That probably means that once we are free to go on shore, everything will be full and prices inflated...

There was another huge barque in the bay last night and these guys are really not too good for business. They tend to eat on board and contribute little to the local economy, but at least keep the boat boys busy.

We are here for today and tonight, then will head further up the coast to a more attractive bay.
