One note on couchsurfing, if a local accepts you be prepared that you may never learn their address/hear from them again as the "Yes means peace" philosophy runs strong in Dominica. In other words, "say yes but mean no", so as to not cause offence and avoid conflict... this of course only makes sense in the short term and does offend/create conflict long term, plus it also leaves you couchless).
==Hitchhiking a boat==
If you are looking for a boat heading to The Saints, Marie-Galante or Guadalupe, your best shot would be to look in Portsmouth. Try asking around at the dinghy dock in front of PAYS (Portsmouth Association of Yacht Service), they host a party for sailors on Sunday night. The problem with cruisers in Dominica is that most of them don't really leave their boat, they get picked up by the river tour guys and dropped off at their doorstep. You can try at the ATM located near the Indian River entrance, that's where they take out their cash to pay for the river tour. If you're lucky enough to be staying on a boat while looking for your next ride, don't hesitate to swim from boat to boat and ask where they are heading.
