Father’s Day, Cricket, and a Trip to Portsmouth

Fathers day turned out to be a glorious sunny day here, there were many parties on the river and the beach. We ended up watching the 20/20 cricket from the UK with some friends as we are too remote for cable TV in the valley but satellite service is in the offing. This was good fun – Pakistan were worthy winners and the cricket was of very high standard. We of course wish that the West Indies had made it to the finals.

Jaco Ladd came with me on Friday to Portsmouth, specifically the Tane Tane area. This is a very attractive part of Dominica, having a beautiful harbour where the yachts catch a mooring and anchor when visiting the island. The anchorage is very sheltered and overlooked by Fort Shirley. This certainly looks stunning due to Lennox Honeychurch and his crew renovating more and more of this historic site.

The weather is cool and cloudy at the moment but it feels like it will be hot and sunny later.
