St. Maarten and Rosseau, Dominica

Sorry for not positing yesterday, but my rash is horrible and it appears to be incredibly photo-sensitive. Yesterday we were in St. Maarten, we went sailing aboard the True North II, this is one of the America's Cup Regatta's boat. It was fantastic! I was the Main sail trimmer and Peter was one of the Main grinders! BTW- True North II crew beat the Stars and Stripes it was great. Afterwards though, my rash was really painful, so we returned to our cabin and napped.

Today we are in Rosseau, Dominica and I have to say it is paradise. It is an untouched island. Most of it is a rainforest and it is spectacular, we really loved it. We took a bus tour and I am in longsleeves, trying to avoid the sun. Trish has kindly advised me that my medication can cause sunsensitivity, great!

Most of the islands are closed this weekend for Easter, so it is very quiet. I have to admit I haven't bought much as I really don't like the stores around the ports as they are tourist traps. Oh well we do have some nice photos which we'll have to share later.

I have modified the comments section as Trish indicated she couldn't post. I hope it works now.

Later!
