Martinique to Dominica

5/14/2017

 
March 17, 2017. Linda and I rose early this morning and, with our friends on S/V Jetlag (Gerald and Bridgitt from Switzerland 🇨🇭 , Rascal and Jetlag had a 'brisk' sail from Martinique 🇲🇶 to Dominica 🇩🇲 --about 36 miles. The winds were 20-30 and the seas were 6-8 feet. We got in the groove and averaged 8 knots.
We were greeted by "Mister Bean" of SeaCat who led Jetlag and Rascal to our reserved moorings very close to shore. After we were settled, he took us over to Roseau to check in with customs and immigration after which the four of us went for a walk in downtown Roseau, the capital of Dominica. Beautiful.

Infamous market where slaves were bought and sold. The red arch is a scale where slaves were weighed. It has a British coat of arms. Today the market is very active on Fridays and Saturdays.
