I went in to say so long to some of the islanders that had become almost family. Juasine who swam off the PAYS dock every morning and took me to meet Din who built a tree house and raises a family there. And who picked herbs for us to make tea with and spent a day making a potion out of herbs and coconut oil for us. He built the tree house on the beach and it is shaped similar to a boat hull made from branches. He hand cut the steps and nailed them to a salvaged trunk to make a spiral stair. I'm not that creative, must be I didn't continue smoking like he did!
One of the non PAYS boat boys that came out and gave us limes and mangoes so we finally let him wash the waterline of our boat, came out as we were leaving and asked for us to please bring him a good paddle when we come back. He is really a good guy and enjoyable to listen to but sorta persistent, but did good work. Sally said best limes she had ever eaten & I agree.
There are many others but I did not have their picture but did not meet the first unfriendly person on Dominica and all wanted to know if I was enjoying their island. Emphatic YES !
