We had a wonderful night crossing on Saturday night.  St. Pierre, Martinique to Prince Rupert Bay, Dominica is about 55 miles, so we figured it would take about 12 hours, best leave at night to be sure we arrive in the daylight.  The first hour was very light wind so we motored up to the top of the island where wind picked up as it shot through the 25 mile channel between Martinique and Dominica.  With a full jib and double reefed main we shot past that channel going 8 kts all the way in about 3 hours, at this rate we would be in the anchorage well before daybreak defeating the purpose of the night crossing.  As luck would have it, the wind died so we plugged along and 1 or 2 or 3 and sometimes 5 kts arriving at 7am.  Perfect!

We’ve made friends with a group of boats that are mostly going in the same direction. Some boats stop at an extra anchorage or stay longer at one place than another.  Sunday several boats we’ve made friends with all showed up  in the bay.

We get a different experience each place we go.  Here in Prince Rupert Bay there are a half of a dozen or so guys in ponga style fishing boats that provide yacht services like hauling water or fuel, taking your trash out and getting your laundry done.  They are also river guides and give tours.  In Dominica, there are restrictions on where you can anchor, no SCUBA without a guide, river exploration also requires a guide.  We’re next to the Indian River which was featured in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest.  All this can be provided by one of these guys for a fee  Oh, well, it all works to provide jobs for the locals.  Last night they put on party at the beach.  BBQ chicken, rice, veggies, KILLER rum punch and juice for the kids.  After you are full and tipsy, they moved the tables for dancing.  The whole evening was a blast, the kids played freeze tag with about 16 other boat kids ages seven to 16 years old.  We even met a college kid visiting her parents before going to Japan for her next semester.  Midnight came quickly and it was difficult to get anything done on Monday morning.  Eric worked on his project list, the kids got through Math and I gave up on anything else for the day.
