Martinique to Dominica

Image
The weather was nice after a rolly anchorage in St Pierre. We left around 7.30 to Dominica. The Wind came most of the time from behind but was quite weak and so we had one engine running at 2500rpm and making water until our tank was full. We passed Roseau where we had been in January and went to the north end of Dominica to Portsmouth. Due to the sourtherly winds there was also a southerly swell and so we anchored in the most secure place at the Portsmouth hotel. There is also free Wifi here and the water is clear. Albert, one of the boat boys is highly recommend by others and we heard also good about him from Ralf and Inge but we do not need anything. Lani will soon operate the anchor on her own i guess. She is now more and more trying out things. here she is trying out how far she can throw her doll :-)

St Pierre Martinique

After clearing out this morning we left Anse Mitan and after an hour some Dolphins were jumping in around 100m but we were only doing 5 knots and so it was to boring for them to play with LinoCat. The wind was south and we reached St Pierre without a problem. The picture is taken from the salon, so when you look outside it looks like somewhere in the med sea. No look with fishing and the anchorage is a bit rolly with some swell coming in from the south. Tomorrow LinoCat will sail to Dominica, but since we have already seen it, we will only pass by without even clearing in.
