Dominica

We left cleared out of Martinique at Saint Pierre. A trip to the local tourist office to do the clearance paperwork in the morning and we were on our way by 1000. It was about a 35M sail to Dominica with a forecast of 20K from the east and 2m swells. We had a good fast passage between the islands, although it was 20-30K and the sea state a bit uncomfortable, but Sephina cruised along at 8K most of the way under double reefed main and jib. We caught a mahi mahi for dinner and arrived at Roussau  at 1600.

Dominica is GREEN! Lots of shades of green and mountainous. We are looking forward to some island explorations and diving. 

We were met at the anchorage by SeaCat, a local tour guide who also rents mooring buoys for $10/night. Although we like to anchor, mooring buoys are more suitable here due to the steep shoreline and also our travel plans. It's a bit more comforting when being away from Sephina for a full day to know she is securely tied and no other boats are likely to swing into her.

We ate our mahi mahi and had an early night after the tiring days sail.
