We had one rough night there when the waves came right in over the reef.

Funny, we were there early December with the same swell forecasted, anchored just south of the mooring field and my wife kept commenting how she couldn't believe how calm it was.
Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!

We spent a VERY rocky night at Marina Cay on our first BVI trip, and my wife has refused to return there ever since, despite the TTOL consensus that it is usually calm. We had dinner at Donovan's Reef, located about where the Scrub Island Marina is now, and the water was absolutely flat in front of the restaurant. We were very jealous of the catamaran that was anchored there.
Since then we've spent a couple of nights at Scrub, and again it was dead flat each time. I'm a little disappointed to hear that it's not always so.

We visited Scrub in March and spent the night on the dock. It was more hobby horse than we'd like and pretty shallow. The staff were great, but the guests were not mixing. It was not a cheap visit. Given all that, we really don't have a desire to return given the other nearby options.

Rick, we are planning to attend the fmp at Trellis on July 1 but will not arrive until late afternoon when mooring balls may not be available. I'm wondering about reserving a slip for a 42" cat at Scrub as plan B. We'll have 8 in our party. Your thoughts?

Lay beam to beam in your bunk and the roll becomes a rock. It will rock you to sleep.
It's not what you've got, it's what you give, it's not the life you choose, it's the life you live.

BVI Newbie ( http://bvinewbie.com/full-moon-party-bvi/) lists the following as full moon dates for 2015. I don't think these are cast in stone because I don't know where BVI Newbie gets their information. There is occasionally confusion as to the exact date of a particular Full Moon party and sometimes the party is held on different nights at different places. I know many people like to plan far in advance but that does not always work well in the BVI. Full Moon Party Dates – 2015 January 5th February 3rd March 5th April 4th May 4th June 2nd July 2nd July 31st August 29th September 28th October 27th November 25th December 25th
