Martin Carriere, PO Dominica with Jane Kingsnorth
(c) Richard Kingsnorth, January 14, 2019 -- We had an excellent trip up the Indian River, here at Prince Rupert Bay on Dominica. The trip, organised by Martin Carrierre (OCC Port Officer) aided and abetted by Albert, took around 20 OCC members and crews up the tropical river as part of the rally that Martin has organised here this week. Unfortunately Jane Kingsnorth and I are leaving on ZWAILER tomorrow but thank Martin for his help, last night's BBQ (and rum punch!) and are sure that the rest of the rally will go just as well. We recommend this part of Dominica and Martin's services in particular to any passing sailors . He can be contacted on VHF 16 on his boat PROVIDENCE
Anchorage in Portsmouth
(c) Rowena Barton, January 12 -- Galene has just arrived in Portsmouth, Dominica for the rally. Moored amongst several OCC boats. Let the fun begin!
OCC Ambassadors
Picture of Mike and Robin Stout from s/v Mermaid. Great organizers of social events in the Caribbean. In a two week period they conducted cruisers net, did cocktail parties at Antigua Yacht Club, held pizza party, shared videos and books and checked on me for a backache. They invited us to rent a car with them. Truly a good example for all cruisers to go an extra step to make people feel loved. Sent from Alice Smith/sv Lucky Bird
Great time in Whangarei NZ at the annual OCC party hosted by Mary & Dave Berg.

Crosshaven Meetup at Cronin's
What a great evening with David and Trudie s/v Persephone and Robert and Caroline s/v Aragorn at the iconic Cronin's pub in Crosshaven, Cork, Ireland in brilliant, warm sunshine.
