From ruins to rum punch, Dominica - Eps 80

Hi Dear Friends,

Welcome, it's so cool to have you on board our Salty Days Adventures.

What started as a simple check-in stop quickly turned into one of the most unforgettable experiences of our Caribbean adventure.

In this episode of Salty Days Adventures, we sail into the lush island nation of Dominica and discover a place that feels completely different from anywhere else we’ve visited in the Caribbean. From the moment we step ashore in Portsmouth, we’re welcomed with warm smiles, music in the streets, and a community spirit that instantly makes us feel at home.

We explore the fascinating history of Fort Shirley and uncover the powerful story of the 1802 uprising that helped spark change across the British Caribbean. Then, like all good Caribbean adventures, the mood shifts from ruins to rum punch as we celebrate New Year’s island-style with our new local friends.

From colourful streets and mango trees to karaoke, church services in the open air, and one of the friendliest yachtie communities we’ve ever encountered, this episode reminded us what travel is really about — connection.

If you enjoy authentic sailing adventures, Caribbean culture, and discovering places beyond the tourist brochures, we think you’re going to love this one.

⛵ Thanks for sailing with us aboard our Leopard 40, Salty Days.
