Dominica here we come
11 February 2012 | Portsmouth, Dominica
Ann Willauer; sunny, 18-20E; 8-10'seas
Leaving France under a light shower means we'll be back soon. More lumpy seas and 20-30 easterly wind across to Dominica with a double reef and 1/2 jib, This weather trough doesn't want to quit! At least the rain stayed south! Once on the west side, we set a full main and jib and had a glorious 2 hour sail up the coast to Portsmouth on the North end. We were greeted by a good many of our OCC buddies and celebrated the reunion with everyone aboard Breezing Up for drinks, 11 in all! Martin (aka Providence) came to the party also to say he would take us up the Indian River the next am, bright and early. Even tough we have done it twice, that trip is just as glorious as the first time, 2 years ago. We had never done it early in the am and the bird life is fantastic! We are looking forward to the Sunday night local beach barbecue tonight!
