Dominica: The Nature Isle of the Caribbean III
Posted: Sat Aug 25, 2007 6:50 pmSpending my last few hours over the Nature Isle... continuing from Part II
On the eastern coast once more, doing a fly-by over Melville Hall Airport, not ready to return just yet:

Over the bay, near Castle Bruce, heading south over the east coast:

Far south once more, Dominica showing its utter beauty by way of its rugged mountains. Truly living up to her her Carib name "Waitu Kubuli: Tall is her body":

After flying back onto the west coast, I cross over the center of Dominica, using the inner roads below for navigation:

After some criss-crossing over the central mountain range, I fly over Canefield, just north of the capital, Roseau, Canefield Airfield, visible below:

Further up the west coast, near the head of Dominica, lies the other major city of Portsmouth, and The Cabrits (considered the nose of Dominica) overlooking the bay, where Fort Shirley was built to protect the bay during the Colonial Wars of the 18th and 19th Century between France, Spain, Holland and Britain (Guadeloupe visible on the Horizon):

After that I headed back to Melville Hall and made a smooth cross-wind landing that I'm rather proud of. 8-)
Hope you enjoyed, please leave comments.
