Clearing in into Dominica

Well, we are at a mooring buoy in front of Dominica Marine Center. It is 30m deep and the mooring seems to be OK. Unfortunately the guy to whom we paid the mooring was not authorized and just took our money. Well, lesson learned :-)

On Sunday Alan from Ca Canny and myself walked through the deserted harbor and found the customs closed. So we went again Monday morning. There was an officer but he was not to happy to see customers and told us we had to go to the deep water port. So all the way back to the boat. Now our mood was almost in a state to leave the island but we decided to give it one more try and so we took a Taxi to the deep water port and clearing in and out at the same time was easy and costs around 30EC Dollar. They accept prepared crew lists.

Then we walked around the town which is quite nice with many old houses. This afternoon we will do an island tour.

I just dived below the boat and the water is crystal clear with visibility around 25 m. I removed some growth from the cooling water inlet of the saildrive.

Also the paddlewheel for speed and the transducer for the depth needed some "brushing". The marine growth here is EVIL!
