Land in the horizon! Though not as relieving as the first time, it's still pretty cool to enter a new country every other day. (Maybe not for dad with all the clearance work...)

We've had some wonderful days at anchor, first in St. Pierre, Martinique and then in Roseau, Dominica. In addition to great amounts of snorkeling and mandatory pirate research (Pirates of the Caribbean movies), we had a little jungle excursion on land. Bathing in hot sulphur Springs with "healing properties", extreme mountain climbing and swimming beneath a great waterfall - quite extraordinary! My hair still smells of sulphur, though...

Now we're bound for The Saintes, south of Guadeloupe. We're promised turtles and glittering gold, so I can't wait to get there!
Ellie out.
