When sailing out of Road Town in a counterclockwise direction with a late start due to orientation, Manchioneel Bay (Cooper Island) is a perfect first night anchorage. Everything is accessible the next day. But it is mostly sea grass and if there is no available ball, anchoring can be treacherous. I have not been to Cooper mid-week when most charterers are in the midst of their trip, so I don't know how it is Tuesday through Thursday. But Friday through Monday, even in May, my rule is to be there by 2 for a selection and 3 for a ball.
