Dominica

This is our first visit to Dominica, this cruise has 2 visits scheduled and were up nice and early to see our arrival at this island. The weather is pretty misty but already quite warm, around about 26 degrees at about 7am.

The weather clears up and we are getting ready for a day out on a catamaran in search of sperm whales and dolphins.

Out on the catamaran

Its 8am in the morning and we are already out and about as we have booked this excursion on a local catamaran in the hope of seeing some sperm whales or bottle nose dolphins

Dominica's sheer underwater drop-offs create deep sheltered bays along its western coastline–the perfect haven for the Sperm Whale to breed and calve.

Dominica is the only country in the world where the sperm whale resides all year long, although sightings are most common between November and March.

On my way whale watching?

The catamaran is only minutes walk from the ship and were soon on our way, with Brittania becoming a small spec on the horizon.

Turned out to be a nice trip out on the catamaran with lashings of rum punch, but unfortunately ho sight or sound of any whales or dolphins.

So back in Roseau, time for some light refreshment and a drink i think.

So we say farewell to Dominica and head out on our way to our next port of call
