Indian River, Portsmouth, Dominica

Today we hailed “SeaBird” on the VHF and arranged for an Indian River trip.  It cost $50 EC (about $20 USD) per person.  You have to use a guide (ours was Andrew) and no motors are allowed so they have to row the mile long trip.  As we were heading in we saw all the scrapping being done on the ships washed ashore by the latest hurricane which occurred 3 years ago.  Andrew told us the large fishing dock was funded and built by the Japanese…we still don’t fully understand that connection.  There was a ship blocking the entrance to the river but they moved it out a bit to make way for the tours (photo#2).

At the end of the mile long trip there is an “Indian River Bar” where we stopped for a rum punch.
