If you are in boat, pick Gumption up at Leverick (by dingy or pull up to leverick's dock). Wes s/v Sea Tiger (2022 Lagoon 46) www.BareBoatBVI.com

If you are thinking of a great Anegada tour I have been out with Kelly 4 times...all water tour out on the reef https://www.facebook.com/AnegadaTours/ best snorkeling, flamingoes, conch island, caught lobster, saw sharks etc...
