Crossing to Dominica

Bernard le Duc

Another fresh French pastry breakfast. Set off in what seemed like no wind but had a reef in the main nonetheless. As we entered the channel clear of the lee of the island, the wind jumped to over 20kts with big swell on a tight reach. A little further out in the channel the wind direction raised to a broad reach with waves rolling across our beam. Had several hours of champagne sailing. Approaching Dominica the wind and seas built again but once we entered the lee of the island, dropped to less than 10 kts. Sailed into Roseau and picked up a mooring ball with the help of Desmond from SeaCat. Later moved to a more picturesque mooring ball as we will stay two days. Next day went on amazing day trip with Kevin to the Emerald Pool, Titou Gorge and the Trafalgar Falls.
