Laying Waste

07 June 2009 | Portsmouth, Dominica
Ruins of Ft. Shirley

June 7

One can just never see enough forts. Fortunately, the Eastern Caribbean is lousy with them. In Dominica the only action Ft. Shirley saw was a slave revolt that led to large scale emancipations. Note irony of fact that fort was constructed by slaves.

Several souls braved the hour trek to the top of 1500 foot West Cabrits to view an impressively large cannon, but mostly to justify impressively large number of beers to be consumed later (In fairness local Kubuli lager bottles are quite small requiring 2 to equal 1 regular beer... probably. This perceived ratio can exceed 5 to 1 as the evening progresses.) A shorter trail led to un-renovated ruins that must have been a set for Indiana Jones. Way cool! It should be noted that the Brits had their gunports facing properly, ref. June 3 dispatch.

The fleet has dwindled to four all departing tomorrow for Martinique to be rejoined with much of the advance guard, who left yesterday and today, to attack and pillage St. Pierre. I love the French, but hey!, one must lay waste where one can.
