I guess a good place to start is when are you going?
With respect to the baths, you can no longer take the dinghy to shore. It is roped off indeed.
During the months when a swell is running, your better off going by car.
If the wate is reasonably calm, you can take the dinghy to the line, tie off and swim in.
Leverick has a nice BBQ and dinner Friday nights. It is not running during part of the off season. I don't know about foxy's.
I suspect that there a many more moorings than at the time of your last trip. You are probably not going to drop anchor in many places.
Good luck.

We've done the BBQ at Foxy's before and Leverick many times. They are both good as far as food is concerned - Leverick is the better deal though - it was all you can eat where Foxy's was one trip. Leverick has the Jumbies as well.
As far as the baths go - our first few trips we always picked up a mooring ball. Then we started renting a car. Much better way to do it in my opinion. You can see so much more of the island and its great views and spend as much time as you want at the baths (mooring balls are 90 minute limit). We've also seen people trying to swim in when conditions are difficult - saw one woman who might have drowned if not for her husband, although he was having a very hard time as well. I also find it is one of the few places where you can rent a car - so it breaks things up from the usual grab a ball and swim in, which is a nice change sometimes. We've taken a lot of friends there that way for their first time and they all love it.
