The kids were up early hoping to play with their new Australian friends and spent the early part of the morning using their kayaks and swimming round the boat. At lunch time we all went in to Roseau to provision and found the supermarket packed like Waitrose at Christmas. We fought our way round and while I was in line waiting for ham and turkey, I found out that it was the start of Carnival that afternoon which was why the whole of Roseau was in Whitchurchs. We had lunch, got the food back to the boat and Jamie went with the Australians to see the carnival parade. We all joined up in the evening for the jump up, but we decided to leave early and head back via one of the Dominican minibuses to the boat.
We called the boat Hakuna Matata because we’re taking some time out to forget our day-to-day worries and to have some fantastic family adventures, have fun and learn a lot together. We are: Chris (aka dad) who had the idea of a sailing sabbatical, Kim (aka mum) who wishes he hadn't, daughter Jamie (10) and son Alex (8).
