Drought in the Caribbean

We arrived in Bequia on the 18th of March 2010. The drought in the Caribbean is getting worse - once lush green islands are brown and dead looking. While we were in St Lucia water rationing was in force at the marina.

This picture taken from the boat in Admiralty Bay, Bequia shows how brown the foliage is, not much greenery left here.

Snorkeling with the family!

Anchored off Anse Mitan, Martinique we saw this mother and her two young daughters out for a snorkel! The family was on a boat anchored next to us and they were outfitting another boat in the anchorage. Family on the way to visit dad on the other boat.

Morne Trois Pitons, Dominica

We decided to do some exploring while we stopped this year in Roseau, Dominica. We arranged to take a hike up to Middleham Falls. The trail was really interesting in spots, covered on the surface with tree roots.

The trail, even though it is in the rain forest, was extremely dry. We wondered if the waterfall would have any water it was so dry around.







Managed to get a nice shot of a humming bird.

Iguanas in the Saintes

While exploring ashore in the Saintes in December 2009 we noticed lots of large Iguanas. This time when we stopped in March 2010 we noticed that many of the lizards were gone, probably due to the drought.
