Dominica-Part 3 of 3 -Boiling Lake or "To Hell and Back"

We sailed down to the southwest side of the island to the Port of Roseau.

Jeff had read that "Boiling Lake" is a definite "must see" and Roseau was the place to schedule a guided hike. Our "boy" Alexis had warned me that a lot
of travelers never complete the hike... too difficult... hmmmm ...  Intrigued, I read further and saw that the hike was considered "advanced" and  I was not even a beginning hiker...admittedly daunted I still decided to try it.

Dominica - Part 2 of 3 - Island Tour or "More Heaven"


A couple of days after the Indian River trip Alexis booked us an island tour with Charles, who took us by van, along with five other cruisers, up along the northwest coast and clockwise around the island. Again I was blown away...

Dominica-Part 1 of 3 - Indian River or "Heaven"

Dominica is drop dead gorgeous. What else can I say?  Many scenes in The "Pirates of the Carribean" movies 2 and 3 were filmed here and I can see why... Dominica is still so raw, brutal and lush in its beauty it evokes an earlier time.

Antigua


We arrived in Falmouth Harbor, Antigua just in time for the annual forty-seventh Antigua Classic Yacht and Sailing week regattas.  Yachts flying the flags of twenty-three different nations were drawn to the the Carribean's most prestigous regatta. Hey why wouldn't sailors come from all over the world to enjoy fantastic weather, extremely competitive sailing and great entertainment?

St Martin / St Maarten

 St Martin/St Maarten is the home of boats, beaches, bakery and boobs (not necessarily in that order):)
