actually, the last couple of trips, pre irma, we did not use the N.P. mooring balls. They were all filled.

1. One year we got a slip at virgin gorda yacht harbor, and took a short taxi ride to the baths. R.O.N. at VG Yacht harbor.

2. The next year, we sailed past the baths, all mooring were taken.

3. There is only Erica and I, no boat load of 8 to 12 other people on board. No one to stand anchor watch on board when we swam ashore.

4. We sailed on up to Leverick Bay, picked up a mooring for a couple of days, or so, and took a very neat taxi ride to the baths....turned out to be more of an island tour, stopping for photos, That was when, we snorkeled outside to devils bay and back, and could not even get into the baths due to the cruise shippers. We had plenty of time, and after snorkeling we went up to the Top o the Baths, had a great time, and met the taxi driver at the appointed time for the return to Leverick.

5. As others mentioned, many of us have experienced the baths over many years, and now we are going to pass since we have no passengers on board.
