Considering anchoring here overnight at the end of May. How is the holding and is there anything I should be aware of?
Thanks,
Suzanne

No, north side of Tortola is just too exposed except for Cane Garden Bay.
Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!

Hi Beerme, mountain point us north side of virgin Gorda.
It's reasonably sheltered from the swells in winter.
The holding is over sand.
Lots of people anchor there.
Some have experience being there in a squall and say it's not pleasant.
Suzkoop, use the search feature. This has been discussed before.

Hi Suz, we've anchored there. We were chartered on a 44' Lagoon and joined a crusing couple in 42' c&c. Late April and very calm. I'd say it's very condition dependent but in calm conditions has great holding. You may also find your charter company may X it out. Most do not let you anchor there.
