Great Habit's Caribbean Tour 2011-2012

Had a great sail from Martinique, winds mostly abeam so we made good time. We are tied to a mooring in Roseau and will explore the town tomorrow after we check into Customs. Tomorrow is Bethany's last night, she has to meet her taxi at 6:00 am on Tues to start her travels back to PEI. We have had a great time together and will miss her for sure.

Guest report: Hard to believe this wonderful vacation is drawing to a close. Had a great sail today and it has been very interesting to experience the "boat boys" of Dominica. We are moored only a few feet from shore where we look onto (and into) houses, hotels, cafes, and dog kennels. The rooster at the house directly behind us crows incessantly no matter what time..usually in tune with the barking dog of the same property. What an interesting little place. More exploring tomorrow and then time to get organized and ready for departure. Don't want to think of that yet.
