This is very timely for me - I was just going to ask almost the same question.
Specifically, I was thinking about anchoring in Drake's Anchorage, just east of Moskito and behind the reef that juts out in to the channel. Anything to be concerned about doing an overnight there? Can I dinghy to Leverick from there?
I don't know where the Sand Box is, can you give more details?
Thanks

Sand Box is on Prickley, across from BEYC. Nice beach bar and the beach is beautiful, looks across to Leverick. Thanks, I think I see where it is.

TMSXsails: For the NE side of PP, one can enter from the NW (Necker I Passage) or, if you are coming from Gorda Sound, just come thru the Saba Rock marked channel and once you are out in deeper water make a hard left back thru the reefs between PP and Eustatia Is. Go slow and watch your depth and you'll be fine.

We have but it was a rough ride. If sea is calm would be fine but we all know how this goes right..flat calm then boom swells hitting you on the face on return. A tip someone gave us years ago..after heading out in the dinghy turn around to see how bumpy the ride is on the return before proceeding.
