Hi - I've read somewhere that this is available (w/ electricity). Has anyone tried it? If so, what's the deal? I assume that there is an expectation (requirement?) to eat dinner there? I'm also guessing no other services (e.g. showers).

Thanks!

Ben

Unless things have changed there is no electricity or' showers. It's more of a dinghy dock. I have seen boats tied up there but it's very still and buggy. Get a mooring out in the middle of the field where there is a breeze.

Grab a mooring in Little Harbor-usually quiet. Best lobster in BVI at Abe's. Sydney's Honor Bar a great happy hour stop.

Pick up a mooring -- if it is a busy night or has a loud boozy crowd or even 1 rude party goer -- being on the dock that close would be very uncomfortable.

Harris's Place... Do NOT fill your fresh water tank there.... The water faucet on dock with hose is Sea Water....

ALMOST made that mistake...

Food is good at Harris's. Like Sydney's honor bar(brings back lots of memories). Haven't eaten at Abe's yet.... On my "definite" list for this trip.

I have docked at Sidney's many times. The water off both docks is deep. The issue with Little Harbor are flies. You would want to run AC at night.

Cindy will usually wave the Mooring ball fee if you eat at Harris place.
