Wow the topic is dining ashore.

So, most of the anchorages (mooring fields too) have choices of where to eat. Dinners will typically run $20-40 pp plus booze. Tipping is optional and some places go ahead and add a service charge.

Provisioning can be done nearby at any of the bases and most would probably recommend more drinks and less food. I believe that a high percentage of people have breakfast on the hook, lunch underway and dinner ashore.

Lunch options are also easy along the way.

Some people bring coolers of food with them but this is not necessary as nearly everything you expect will be waiting for you.

Beer is cheap, and so is rum and other liquors. Wine is higher than you'd expect. Ice is plentiful at anchorages and be sure to keep lots on hand

Now, the rest can go on bantering about lights in a mooring field.

FYI. Most yacht crew keep a person on the bow when driving their unlit dinghy at night. This person points a light forward in a scanning motion to look for lines and mooring balls or other obstacles.

Hope this is helpful
