Today is one of those weird days in Rupert’s Bay where the Internet just does not want to work. 4 bars on both our phones but Internet almost zero. it’s a bit of a pain for me as Fidelity is having some issues with a VPN and sometimes I can’t take a call. First World…

While there is still tons of rain in the area, we’ve decided to attempt the Indian River walk we’ve heard about. Scott and Carol hired a guide to take them up the river in a boat and said it was OK, nothing remarkable so we’re not crazy about the idea now. We have some notes…

I think I mentioned it before but our dinghy has returned to its leaky ways. Not only that, but the bumper has fallen off AGAIN. Today, we decide to try and 3M 4200 it back on for the umpteenth time. After the morning rains subside (and I dive for Christy’s rug that flew off the…

The best things about this day are: Back in Canada it is cold and snowy, here it is only rainy. So rainy and windy and generally fairly nasty, we never even take the dinghy down from its davits. Every now and then we get the illusion of calmer weather, only to be inundated by torrential…

The day dawns pretty decently so we’re ok to continue our road tour with Scott and Carol. We’ve engaged a driver to take us around some of the sights on the north-east end of the island. We dinghy into PAYS where we meet Andrew, who calls Max, who brings his car, that Kevin is going…

Raining hard on and off again so after texting with Scott and Carol, we elect to cancel the river tour. Christy and I dinghy in to find Andrew – he doesn’t mind. We also buy tickets for tonight’s PAYS BBQ (it happens every Sunday). BTW PAYS stands for Portsmouth Association of Yacht Security – or…

Carnival in Portsmouth today. We’re not sure what that means but last night’s disco blasting may have been part of it. We go in to the main dock pretty early and Christy shops in the market while I chat with Scott and Carol who have walked over from their cottage. Rains on and off of…

We’re not in a great hurry to get away but soon enough we’re packed up and ready to move off this mooring. Only one problem, our mooring lines have wound around the ball and can’t be pulled out. I have to snorkel over to undo them while Christy waits with the motor running just in…

Another nice day in Roseau. Rains often but we will come to learn what we have here is pretty dry. We’ve decided to check out the south bay of Soufriere and Scott’s Head. Probably won’t get a second chance. After parking the dinghy, Roots is there and tells us there’s a bus stop right outside…

This turns out to be a biiiiig day. We are at Sea Cat’s just after 7 am with our lunch and pack packed for our trip to Boiling Lake. Our guide is Melvin Henderson, also known as Ninjaman and with good reason. He’s 6 foot 6 and all muscle but he’s also happy to see…
