We’re avoiding the dark and stormy-although our trip will overlap somewhat with the Spring Regatta. I agree, that Among the the many good anchorages, Anegada is certainly there. However, I don’t sleep as soundly on an anchor as I do on a ball, if adult beverages, to excess are invlovled, I prefer to be on a mooring ball. It’s a preference. I have has mooring pennants break in the middle night - once in Anegada and once at Saba Rock. To each his own. That would certainly change one’s perspective! And a good reminder that a snorkel over an anchor, and a good look at your lines should be a sufficient safeguard, Someone mentioned that newer bareboat captains preferred a mooring ball over anchoring, and I admit that my preferences have evolved. However, the perception of security DOESN’T mean that the mooring ball has been appropriately maintained, worth remembering.
