From my experience staying on Anegada it appears to me Tuesday and Wednesday are the busiest days.
Go Irish!!

We’re avoiding the dark and stormy-although our trip will overlap somewhat with the Spring Regatta. I agree, that Among the the many good anchorages, Anegada is certainly there. However, I don’t sleep as soundly on an anchor as I do on a ball, if adult beverages, to excess are invlovled, I prefer to be on a mooring ball. It’s a preference. I have has mooring pennants break in the middle night - once in Anegada and once at Saba Rock. To each his own.

And a good reminder that a snorkel over an anchor, and a good look at your lines should be a sufficient safeguard, Someone mentioned that newer bareboat captains preferred a mooring ball over anchoring, and I admit that my preferences have evolved. However, the perception of security DOESN’T mean that the mooring ball has been appropriately maintained, worth remembering.

I like to check the mooring, pennant and the chain attachment to the ball. Usually they're fine but I have doubled up with an extra line a time or two, especially when a storm blows by Sound advice, right there.

I have has mooring pennants break in the middle night - once in Anegada and once at Saba Rock. To each his own. I have never had a anchor fail me. I have also had two mooring balls come free. One was expensive as it caused some damage. The ball failed at its attachment point to the bottom. G
