Getting from Martinique to Dominica by Ferry, Express Des Iles
Express Des Iles Ferry
The ferry was only 15 minutes late – excellent service compared to Liat (The Carribean Airline). Unfortunately the catamaran (modern, covered, with a restaurant on board) ran after dark, so we didn’t get a view of the islands. The seas were extremely rough, and most of the passengers got sea sick. Even with 2 gravol/Dramamine, (motion sickness tablets), Ian barely hung on.
Arriving into Dominica wasn’t exactly a smooth process – the arrival forms that the ferry company had given us were wrong, so everyone had to scramble to fill in new forms. Our guesthouse in Roseau wasn’t that far, but the dark wet streets, lack of road signs, and an inaccurate map made it a little difficult to find.

Me pareció que esta descripción muestra las dificultades que existen para llegar a Dominica por vías marítimas; es buena, pues no se mete con la crónica periodística, sino que pone un ambiente a los ojos del lector, dejando así que este se forme una propia idea de la situación.
No obstante, no entendí -tal vez porque no domino bien el inglés- porque los protagonistas de este suceso tomaron el barco en la Martinica, tal vez algún día lo sepa, tal vez no sea así.
