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.

Salty Days Adventures
Welcome to Salty Days Adventures, a sailing channel for people who feel that itch to go, even when it’s a bit scary. We’re an Aussie couple who realised, just in time, that life is for the living. So, we sold our home and got rid of almost everything… except an amazing, new-to-us Leopard 40 catamaran, yes, she’s called Salty Days. We’re back with salt on our skin, roaming the Caribbean, chasing sunsets, rainbows, and the freedom that only the sea offers. This channel is about sailing, casting off, crossing oceans, learning fast, laughing often, and discovering what life looks like when you stop waiting for tomorrow. It’s adventure with salt in its hair and grit under its nails. Sometimes spectacular. Sometimes stressful. Always real. No scripts. No filters. Just a floating, front-row seat to a life lived properly, the good, the bad and the ugly Thanks for joining us in these Salty Days Adventures. Cozzy & Mitcho
