We've only ever stopped there once as a day time stop. My husband was not assured of being secure with the weather conditions. Please be aware that although anchoring seems like a good idea if you are competent (and I am certainly not questioning your ability at all given your background ) . The majority of 'mooring' fields are nowadays full of mooring bouys, with very little space left for anchoring even on the outside. One extremely good, sheltered anchoring area is just inside the reef at Mosquito island, North Sound - but then we always go to Leverick for a couple of nights. That must not be missed and a Friday included if at all possible,
