The winds really depend on the time of year. When are you going?
Diamond Cay on the east end of Jost Van Dyke near Foxy's Taboo is one of our favorite anchorages. There is a new beach bar on Little Jost Van Dyke called B-Line. The walk to the Bubbly Pool is fun, even if the swell is not up. Sandy Spit and Sandy Cay are nearby. Lots of turtles and remora.
We enjoy the day mooring at George Dog & Great Dog for snorkeling and lunch on the way to/from North Sound.
My newbies enjoy the snorkel at the Wreck of the Rhone when the swell is down and the water is clear.
The north/left most mooring at Cooper near the house on the point is the least rolly for a monohull. If the swell is up we skip Cooper or risk an all night tossing.
Guana Island has a new mooring field on the west side on White Bay.
Cheers, RickG
