The Windward Islands are the southern group of the Lesser Antilles in the West Indies, curving generally southward for c.300 mi (480 km) from the Leeward Islands toward NE Venezuela. Excluding Barbados and Trinidad and Tobago, which are in the region but are not part of the group, the Windward Islands consist of the French overseas dept. of Martinique and the former British Windward Islands. (c.700 sq mi/1810 sq km). The former British islands consist of the independent states of Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Of volcanic origin, the islands are generally rugged, mountainous, and well forested, and they have many streams and lakes. With an equable climate, ample rainfall, and rich soil, they produce a variety of tropical agricultural crops for export, including bananas, spices, limes, and cacao. The islands are subject to hurricanes. Although small-scale manufacturing has gained importance, the most substantial change has been the growth of the tourist trade, which constitutes the region's economic mainstay. The deep and sheltered harbors encourage considerable interisland commerce. Fort-de-France, on Martinique, and Castries, on Saint Lucia, are the islands' chief cities. The islands are largely inhabited by descendants of Africans, who were brought as slaves during the colonial period. The culture varies from island to island, but the French influence is particularly strong. For some time after Columbus's exploration of the islands ...

While visiting Dominica on our boat 'RobinLeigh' we decided to try the hike to the Boiling Lake. Our friend and hiking guide Pancho assured us it wasn't a hard trip so we agreed to come along. We should have looked at the map! For more interesting videos, stories, and pictures check out our blog at www.sailblogs.com

Ok, this was one of my first trip: Dominican republic. I was on the beach and heard a loud ventilator. Decided to check it out. There I met this crazy french dude with a really cool flying rig. Think Zodiac + Hang glider + Propeller... Check this out. Unbelievable! - JP

I get to travel to my favorite place next month. It seems that I am always thinking of the people that I met in Dominica. We exchange letters and sometimes emails. There are several who are on Facebook. It will be so nice to see them face to face. We always do work projects with the people there. It is great to work along side the people and learn more about their life. We laugh, joke, and share stories. I always take pictures. I love the community building experience. There are folks from my church who went to Dominica in 1979. A devastating storm known as Hurricane David swept through destroying homes, schools, roads and crops. The infrastructure of the country was in sore need of help from the world community. Our church members built high schools, playground, town library and many other projects. In building the schools, everything from desks and chairs to school uniforms were made. To each person that I visit, I give some hygiene and personal care items. Each visit includes a time to pray with the elderly or shut ins. Please pray for our work team as we prepare and travel to Dominica. We praise God for all the traveling mercies that will be bestowed on us. Please consider donating to our cause. Anything you can give is enough to get us closer to our goal.
