CDavis said:Am I crazy to think that I have a shot at being able to grab a mooring ball in Great Harbour in JVD if we get over there around 3:30 PM? Probably not (find an open ball), but you never know. And, even if you don't get a ball there's a ton of room to anchor. Don't let the naysayers dissuade you... there's plenty of good holding in there if you know how to set an anchor. I was in GH on NYE 2014/2015 with at least 100 other boats. A squall came through in the night with winds ~30-35 kts, and I didn't witness a single boat drag. Fair winds, and say hello to Foxy for me <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" /><img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

If you are talking about being there for Christmas and not New Years, you will have no problem finding a ball in either Great or Little Harbor.

Diamond Cay is another alternative. There are a few balls there and also good anchorages too.

If there is no N swell running I would spend the night off St John. There is no need to rush and you will enjoy a far better anchorage then GH. Almost all the N shore St John anchorages are spectacular. Head over in the morning and clear customs. It will make for a very relaxing first day. By the time you get to GH with the usual delays you may find the customs guys are gone for the day. Quitting time is variable. Now your stuck on the boat for the night flying a yellow flag. G
