The beach and island of Nevis look very inviting.

We decided to make a day excursion with "Sea Cat" to see a bit more of the island of Dominica. It was quite expensive at $100 US but would have seemed cheaper if we had a bigger group going.

Radar arch took 2.5 weeks to make rather than the one week as promised but final product was pretty good. Luckily the original guy that we met didn’t actually do much of the work but the local welding teacher did. Our original man turned out to be captain clumsy which is pretty scary when you are wielding big tools and bits of metal.
