If you do not think that your anchoring skills are sufficient for the size of vessel that you are on, then you have no business being the skipper of that vessel.


Maybe I am too humble for my own good. I did not mean to suggest that I do not know how to anchor just that I feel more comfortable using a mooring ball. There may be a time when I have years more sailing experience and charters under my belt when this will be the case. But at this time, I am confident in my skills (and my sailing training) but not too arrogant to think I know everything and not know my limits. I will sail within them and learn as I go. This is why I have chosen to sail in the BVIs, to continue to learn in a sailing ground from which to build on my existing sailing skills and knowledge to become a better sailer.
