We will be leaving out of scrap in returning to scrub Island. Our preference as of now are the following: Snorkeling: caves, Indians and Monkey Point. We would also like to hit the following: Norman Island..Pirates Bight Baths Coco Maya...opens at 4pm apparently can dock at VGYH Foxys Soggy Dollar Leverick Bay MWF 5-7 pirates show and/or Friday music Oil Nut Bay 11:30 to 3:30 for lunch and pool/beach Anegada Not sure if this is doable. Would so appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks tons. Last edited by KKcopp; 01/12/2018 06:05 PM.

Day 2) ONB, then over to Leverick Bay Day 3 early am start to Anegada Day 4) early am to Guana Island (Monkey Pt), then to Great Harbour, JVD Day 5) White Bay, JVD (Soggy Dollar & Hendo's). Might be best to dinghy over and leave boat in Great Harbour depending on conditions. Day 6) couple hours to the Indians, then to the Caves, then to the Bight (visit Pirates) Day 7) couple hour upwind motor/sail to Scrub Last edited by BaardJ; 01/12/2018 08:23 PM.

We have never moored or docked at VGYH, but I have heard mixed opinions. I would love to hear from others who have stayed there after Irma and taxied over to CocoMaya. We typically drive to CocoMaya from Leverick, which I know is farther but not bad. Thank you! Steve

You will need a light, if it’s after sunset as it’s dark on the road.
