Prince Rupert Bay, Dominica

We arrived here about 2PM yesterday and anchored near our preferred spot in the NE corner of the Bay off the Purple Turtle, where we usually have good WiFi Service (HotHotHotSpot). However it appears that there was some sort of connectivity issue off island last night so we could not reliably connect to anything.

Martin stopped by with a bunch of fruit and came aboard for a nice visit - we drank a few beers and talked about the island and things since our visit last season. We have a hike planned to a secret spot on our return in a month or so after we turn South.

The Portsmouth Area Yacht Security (anchorage security patrol group) normally has a beach BBQ on Sundays but due to the smaller number of boats here there was not one yesterday. Martin did point out a new cabana on shore that PAYS is building on land given by the Dominican Government. The new cabana will be home to future PAYS BBQ's when completed.

There are only 18 or 19 boats in the Bay now which seems to be quite a bit fewer than this time last year.

The music from Big Poppas was to loud again last night but think they must have stopped by midnight or so.

We had planned to take a long walk ashore today and try a new place for lunch but it is rainy and overcast this morning so may just stay aboard and play cards!
