At Anchor

Friday, June 25, 2010

Hello from the anchorage in Prince Rupert Bay, Dominica. That first photos are of the town of Portsmouth. All y'all can see there are more than a few grounded freighters on their beach. Two of the 5 or 6 were here when we were here in 02. The Government has sold the scrap metal to some African country and they are starting to cut them up and hall it away. I don't look for it to happen to quick, but it's a start.
Dominica is a pretty island and very lush, has one the sweetest grapefruitit I have ever had.
OK enough of praise for the island, Their claim to fame is that in 2005 Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed in part up the Indian River.


















This is where Johnny and a few of his crew went to see the Voodoo lady with the really bad teeth,if y'all remember the show.
To your left in that photo is our guide and boat boy. Here just as soon as you pull into the bay a boat comes out to greet you and give you more assistance than you need, but it is all good because they pick up laundry, garbage,or anything else you need.






This is a shot looking up the river and a few of the interesting things we saw.Below is a shot of some Britts that was on another boat at the end of the tour,and of course at the end of the river or I guess the beginning there is a little bar so you can have drink.

Well Karen & I enjoyed ourselves and got back to Drifter just before the bottom dropped out for one of our daily 10 to 15 rains that we get.
OK see y'all down the road.
Mike & Karen
