Aboard Dignity (Lagoon 420) Blog

This morning we took a walk around the gardens. They are more open and less formal than the splendid gardens we saw in Deshaies, Guadeloupe. It was quite restful to walk around the place. We also walked up the path called Jack’s Path which took us up a series of switch backs to the top of a hill where we were afforded great views of Roseau and the sight of an interesting cross.

Back on the boat we had lunch. The weather turned a bet wet so we abandoned our idea of a walk south and instead worked on the boat and read up on Martinique.

Having arrived in Roseau we’ve been to town twice for final, final provisioning before leaving. The boat is now full of food so we can remain independent for at least 2 weeks with all our guests. I found some reasonably cheap beer in a wholesaler so we now have an extra four crates of Caribe.

We have left two of our propane tanks with one of the boat helpers who will have them filled and back to us by 8 in the morning. As soon as we have them we’ll be off to Martinique and on our way we’ll be trying out the hand line. Who knows – maybe Friday night curry will be fish.

On the suggestion of one of the blog readers I’ve caught up on a task which I’ve always meant to do which is to categorize my posts. You can now see which country we’re in at the bottom of each post. I’ve also noted where we’ve referred to other cruisers so individual blogs about particular folks can be found.
