We are down the last week of February for our second charter with TMM with 4 couples. Last year we went Norman, Peter, Cooper, Baths (at 8 a.m.), Leverick, Guana, JVD and last night back at Norman.
Great time last year and this year we have plans to go to Anegada. Our rough early week plan Kelly’s Cove, Leverick and then two nights at Anegada. What type of wind and wave conditions would stop you from making the sail Leverick to/from Anegada? Also, on island, cabs, car or mopeds? I can’t find the thread with the operators name for a snorkeling trip that we would like to do there. Can someone post the name/link again?
For the rest of the trip, we are thinking about snorkeling some different places. Any recommendations? Is Fallen Jerusalem good in the right conditions? How has Monkey Point been recently? Is snorkeling over the Rhône good?
Thanks in advance.

Totally agree with rental from Dean. Truck with benches works great. Leave North Sound early. Into Anegada mid morning. Can go one of several "routes' on Anegada.... Cow Wreck beach for lunch is my favorite as the view cannot be beat. But also go to Loblolly and Flash of Beauty.. But before you set out, place order for dinner at one of the restaurants. Wonky Dog , Anegada Reef hotel, Potter's are three favorites but haven't tried them all...yet.
Definitely stay away from scooters. Notice that the road conditions include san and rocks... combined with inexperienced scooter driver, add a passenger, throw in a few rum drinks, and tragedy can happen (several years ago it was posted here about a severe head injury, maybe even fatal, and that appeared to not include alcohol or passenger, just bad luck. Much more common is scrapes and broken arms (which pretty much will ruin vacation). So stick with truck (for 8 people) and cautious driver. Should never really be over 30 mph.
The trip over can be a little more adventuresome in higher winds, but since crew will have several days under their belt, not usually an issue. The run down wind either back to the channel or down to JVD is highly enjoyable/ smooth even with higher winds.
Snorkel trip with Sherwin Walcott is awesome!

You guys are scaring me. We've done scooters each time and loved it. Have to admit one of the crew scared us a bit after some rum at Loblolly by speeding on the way to Cow Wreck. She never cracked up that road goes from paved to dirt and can be a little dangerous. Maybe a truck next time.

Did the scooters recently and had a fun time, including the occasional powdery sand.

Great to see they are making Mokes again ..I had an original 1965 Moke when I lived in London..great fun! At that time period till the mid 70’s they were renting the Mini Mokes in St Thomas until the new stricter regulations made them illegal.

We (2 couples) rented a Moke while on Anegada a few weeks back, and it served us very well! Your group could get a couple of them, then split up for awhile if you wanted. Ron, do they limit where you can drive the Moke's? I was told that route from Loblolly to Cow Wreck was forbidden due to the low clearance of the Moke's. I question whether that is true or not. I drove that route in November and thought the road was smoother than in the past.
