Inside the Indian River. According to Lennox Honychurch, early European sea captains who visited the bay for wood and fresh water knew it as ‘the river of the Indians’ and often rowed up to the Carib settlement to offer greetings to the chief.
Banana barges at the mouth of the Indian River. March 16, 1991 The Indian River has its source in the foothills of Morne Diablotin, and before entering the sea it meanders for about a mile through low-lying swamp-land just south of Portsmouth.
One of the cassettes that my sister Ann Marie sent to me after I started my Peace Corps service in Dominica. I listened to and enjoyed this album a lot while I lived in Dominica. There is one really bad recording on it, the title song. And the guest rapping on the reprise of New Power Generation is pretty bad. It’s probably a good thing that I did not have access to the movie, which was even worse than Under the Cherry Moon.
Titou Gorge postcard. Photography compliments of Dive Dominica Ltd. The Titou Gorge, a very narrow, deep gorge where the trail [to Boiling Lake] begins,was formed by volcanic action, not cut by a river.
This is an undated photo that had no description on the back. Based on the bubbles, I am confident that it is a picture from snorkeling in September 1990. As Lennox Honychurch writes in his book, DOMINICA Isle of Adventure, “divers swim through gurgling bubbles created by air rising from volcanic fissures on the sea bed. As one travel writer put it ‘here the sea sings’ and gives one the feeling of swimming through champagne.” A description of the champagne reef and better more colorful pictures can be found at the Dive Dominica website.
