Just got off the 444 a couple of weeks ago with the same issue for Trellis and the FMP. We were coming back from Anegada the day of the FMP and knew it would be dicey getting a ball by the time we got there. We reserved a spot at Scrub Island marina and took the free ferry over. Will cost you about $150 for the night but saves you the trouble of having to get there early and losing the whole day. Ours was a mid-trip stop though and everyone was ready for a nice shower so it really made sense. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

I would stay at Cooper the first night after a Rhone or Indians stop and hit the Baths the morning of the FMP in that scenario (if desired), knowing that my spot was reserved for the night for the FMP. You could easily hit the Baths from Leverick too in a car if that's your preference but we like to catch it on the way by from Cooper.

Not sure how many days you have but with a favorable east wind you could easily jump to Anegada from Scrub or Trellis the next day on a close reach or close hauled. If NE wind, go to North Sound that night and head to Anegada from there. From Anegada, sail to Monkey Point for a stop and head to CGB or JVD if you want to hit those places. It appears you stay mainly on the East side of the islands based on your previous overnights and not sure how many nights you will have.

Would be happy to weigh in further if I knew how many nights you had and your priority locations.
