Our local guide "Friday" took us on a tour of the Indian River
yesterday. Today he is taking us on a tour of the rainforest where we
will see some of Dominica's 365 waterfalls. Tara and I went to the
local market this morning for fresh eggs, fruits, and veggies, and of
course johnny cakes!

Scooter Rides in Les Saintes
Rented a scooter today to check out the rest of Isle Des Saintes. We covered the whole island in about 3 hours. There is a lot of fishing going on here so just about every beach is littered with brightly painted yolos and fishing nets. There are a ton of forts here, too-- great history!! Really enjoyed our adventures here, very quaint and safe!

Sunrise in Guadelupe
Sunrise over Port Louise, Guadeloupe. Another great night sail, smooth seas and lots of wind for the sails. Iggy greets the morning with us, then heads into town to look for fresh veggies, breads, and fish!

Afternoon off on Antigua
We had the afternoon off on Antigua so we rented a car and drove around the entire island (this took awhile). Of course we went to a small beach and climbed some rocks.
Then we wandered into an old fort near the south side- this one is looking north into the interior of the island.The flamboyant trees are in full bloom this time of year, this is a shot of English Harbour through some tree branches.
Finally Sasha and I enjoyed some wine and cheese at the Inn at English Harbour. Ahhh, a well deserved break!
Pictures!
View of Hypnautic from the Upper Town in St. Eustatius. Note oil tanker in the background. Statia is a huge oil warehouse and staging/storage facility.

Lucky Dolphins
DOLPHINS! A pod of 15-20 dolphins playing on the sail from St. Eustatius to Nevis...
are usually a sign of good luck!
Our lucky fishing day-- Yummy big eye tuna! Chris and Iggy brought this one on board for us...
Sasha helped cut it up so we could have a little snack now and dinner later.
