I used my camcorder on my flight from St. Vincent to Dominica to take aerial views of St. Lucia and Dominica. I’m sure you can find new better footage but this is what I saw in September 1991. The titles in the video are the exact notes I had in a notebook of my videos from that time.

17 October

The only illness I’ve had recently (since the St. Lucia vomitting) is abdominal pains accompanied by fever. It happened twice. I think it’s being caused by the tinned ravioli. I’m going to mention it to Dr. Allport on Friday to see what her response is. The first time it happened I thought I might have a problem with my appendix.

Today on the radio I heard Prince’s “Diamonds and Pearls” debuted at number 5. “Cream” is number 11 and his song for Martika is top ten. I’m waiting for Ann Marie to send the tape.

I’m also still waiting for a package from Jane. I’m going to call her on Saturday to hear how she is. I’m assuming a letter is on the way and lying somewhere between here and the U.S. I haven’t heard from her since I saw her in June. 

I biked to Calabishie on Saturday (12). It only took 75 minutes. I went to Hempstead beach with Ingrid and others. She came to the cultural show on Monday.

On the back of the photo I wrote Guayave, Grenada, but the correct spelling is Gouyave. According to Kay Showker, Gouyave is a fishing town. There is also a major nutmeg processing station there.

I did not record much this day, so this clip is not edited at all. I did add narration because there was a lot of silence. The early 90’s camcorder picked up some good color and you can see the island of Bequia in this video.

I did not add any narration to this video because you can hear me have a conversation with a fellow volunteer from St. Vincent.

I narrate my boat ride using text from The Outdoor Traveler’s Guide to the Caribbean. You can read about the Snapper and other Caribbean ferries of the 1990’s in this Washington Post article.
