@TSL:

Yes to all on the water. I have been bareboat chartering since 96 with several companies. Have always used the water tanks on the charter boat and no one has ever had a problem. I don’t understand the other comments to the contrary. Am currently on charter (sitting at Leverick tonight). I have also bought tanks fills (today even) with no issues.

Getting a mooring ball this week has been a challenge. I can’t seem to be able to wake up in time to reserve a Boatyball. I’m on vacation after all. I have mostly anchored. Partly because I’ve been arriving late to the anchorage. I understand this week is the busiest week. But I’m confident in my anchoring skills and have a great crew.

Best of luck and don’t be afraid to ask others for help. We’ve all been there for the first time.
