I was invited on the first run of a new adventure tour in Dominica. A friend invited myself and 20 Dominicans on his catamaran. We cruised through the Caribbean Sea and stopped at a village along shore. There, we bathed in a hot pools within the ocean! Again, this unique natural phenomenon is caused by geothermal activity. The heat from below is so strong that if you stir up the sand too much, the sea water becomes too hot to enter! After our bath, we continued into the rough waters of the Atlantic (I swear, just to test the Canadian's sea legs!), only to return to do some more snorkeling before watching the sunset with rum punch. This was one of my favourite days in Dominica so far. My parents come next week and I am wondering if they can handle the rush of the fast catamaran trip! Only one way to find out!!!...
A super fast catamaran! I'm massively jealous. Is it sail powered of motorized? I see a landslide in this pic! I've been following your posts all along Karen. What a great adventure. We all miss you!
ReplyDeleteHey Tristan! GREAT to hear from you! The boat was motor-powered... and so much fun! BUT the next weekend, I ended up vomiting for 3 hours straight on a whale-watching trip. Still worse, we saw no whales!
ReplyDeleteIt has been such an adventure, and I can't wait to meet at grad club to share summer stories! I've met a handful of researchers here, but no physical geographers yet. It's your chance!
