Dominica’s steep volcanic topography and deep coastal waters make anchoring difficult for cruising vessels.1:29 After finding unsuitable conditions at a cove south of Prince Rupert Bay and Betali Beach, the crew anchors in the tiny village of Coulis-Bestris.2:16 The anchorage features a steep, deep bottom and significant swell that rolls directly onto the beam of their monohull, causing intense motion throughout the night.2:32 The crew abandons the anchorage the following day to explore the Colibriski river trail before sailing south to Roseau.5:38 Upon arrival in Roseau, they secure a mooring ball for $20 USD, noting that the area is exceptionally deep and requires anchoring or mooring very close to shore over coral.16:56 The crew tests the mooring by reversing hard against it to ensure it holds.16:57 The passage from Coulis-Bestris to Roseau provides sporty, bouncy conditions with speeds reaching seven to eight knots.17:44
