This morning, Lindsay and Grant swam over to our friends' boat to try to find the kill switch to the dinghy. We were sure it would be a futile effort because the wind and current were very strong last night, so it could have drifted pretty far from where Dad dropped it. To our surprise, they found it right away with their snorkel gear and were able to dive down 10 feet to retrieve it. They said the red chord was really obvious against the green sea grass on the ocean floor so they found it almost immediately.
We took a tour of the island with Anselm who also works with Lawrence of Arabia. It was an interesting tour. The island is beautiful. We hiked to a spring pool with a waterfall that we were able to swim in. It was very refreshing to swim in fresh water again! If you've seen Pirates of the Caribbean, you've seen Dominica. The water wheel fight in the movie was filmed in Dominica along with many other scenes.
We had lunch at local place on beach. The cool part of our lunch was meeting Peace Corps volunteers from US who are here working in an elementary school. The were very nice ladies and interesting to talk to.

After lunch, we visited Native Carib territory. We did some shopping and bought some cool handmade bracelets and necklaces.
When we goy back to the boat, there were crazy strong wind gusts - 38 knots. Our anchor was dragging so reset it twice. it was so gusty we were worried it might not hold through the night. We finally picked up a mooring ball so will be much more secure.
Mom and Dad went to BBQ hosted by PAYS guys while we stayed on boat for dinner. Mom and Dad met most of the other boaters in the anchorage. They are from all over and most are heading to Grenada to wait out hurricane season. It was really cool to talk to them.
