What this video covers
Cozzy and Mitcho sail their Leopard 40 to Dominica, stopping at Portsmouth and the Prince Rupert Bay area. Alexis, a local guide and founder of the mooring field initiative, explains that he organized the installation of a secure mooring field after arriving by night in 2014 during a boat delivery and finding no moorings available.▶ 0:33 The field is maintained with support from PAYS — the Portsmouth Association of Yacht Securities — which also provides overnight security so cruisers can leave their boats and explore ashore.▶ 1:21 Alexis describes the range of activities available: guided tours, communal dinners, and interaction with the local community.▶ 3:17 The pitch to visiting sailors is explicit: participate in paid tours and events rather than treating the stop as a free layover, and spread the word to other cruisers.▶ 3:13 The broader portrait of Dominica emphasizes its natural scenery as the draw that makes the anchorage worth the stop.
