Thanks to you both. We can/could anchor, but we tend to prefer overnights on a ball is all...I understand those aren't necessarily any better than anchoring, just our preference...

On a related discussion, could you suggest some favorite things to do on St. John for our group. We will certainly spend some time in Cruz bay, and I want to grab a drink/tshirt at Woody's, guessing initially that we owould likely moor at Mahoe/cinnamon/francis or somewhere near.

Some of us like hikes, some don't, some like shopping some don't, some like photo ops, etc., but our crew all enjoy drinks and good food...I think a visit to Coral would be nice, it looks like you can even hike there from Watermelon.

All suggestions/comments welcome.
