We were planning on a day off or taking the bus to Calibishie today but Ormond calls early and says they will come to us. We have to go he says. No problem, we agree to meet near the bus stop. Ormond’s clutch is still giving him troubles so we drive first to Roseau where…

February! Almost a month since our departure. Weather really has turned nicer, almost no rain these days and very warm so a nice change. The plan is for us to take the bus to Calibishie to meet Ormond and Ruth. We’re pretty sure buses don’t run on Sundays but Ormond seems to think we’ll be…

Megawind in the morning and looking overcast but that’s pretty typical. The weather for our tentative departure date of Monday or Tuesday looks perfect. Ormond was hoping to pick us up around 9 am to drive to Roseau. His truck would undergo further repairs there while we would … ? dunno. Anyway, we dinghy into…

Big day today but not large in the picture department (hold on… Christy here… luckily I AM the main photographer of this duo and have come to the rescue!). We hear from Ormond early, before 7 am and he is on his way to Roseau where his truck is undergoing some clutch repairs. He won’t…

Poured hard overnight and very overcast in the morning – doesn’t look like a great day but the forecast is for clear skies in the afternoon. We’ll do some chores in the morning then, maybe go for a walk or swim in the afternoon. I am still dealing with Fidelity issues which means a zoom…

Today we decided to take a chill day on the boat, expecting another rainy day but turned out beautifully actually. Still, nice to hang out in the sun and work on a couple of chores. In the morning we take the laundry in, but before we do, I pump up the dinghy (250 pumps, it…

Beautiful dry day, first time in a long time we have seen the tops of the mountains nearby, they are always full of clouds. So off we go to attempt the trip to Syndicate Falls and hopefully the Syndicate Nature Hike too. Dinghy into the town dock and walk over to the bus area. The…

The weather looks pretty good, for Dominica, so we decide to take our chances with a walk to Pickard, where Scott and Carol stayed. It’s a pleasant walk and we confirm the bus ride to Syndicate which we hope to do tomorrow. Or one of these days. Christy says the bus goes all the way…

We’ve decided to go to church today and the only game in town is the Catholic church so we head in and arrive about 8:45 am for the 9:00 am mass. Except it’s not 9:00 am mass. From 8:45 am to about 10:00 am it’s the women reciting the rosary and Hail Marys. I am…

We’re going to try a different adventure today, a hike over to Toucari Bay, north of the Cabrits, following the path of the Waitikubuli National Walking Trail. All told the trail has 14 segments and is 184 km long – the middle 3 sections 8, 9 and 10 are supposed to be very tough, even…
