There are moorings in -
Blue Lagoon, St Vincent Admiralty Bay, Bequia Britannia Bay, Mustique Charlestown Bay, Canouan Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau The Tobago Cays Clifton Harbour / Chatham Bay, Union Island
If picking up a mooring anywhere south of mainland St Vincent, you should snorkel over the mooring to ensure it's properly laid and that the fittings and lines are OK. There have been many instances of moorings, with attached yachts, heading out towards Guatemala in the middle of the night or of lines parting.
Let your good lady know that she should sleep soundly if the vessel is correctly anchored but that she should have one eye open if on a mooring! The anchoring in these parts is straightforward, generally in an all-sand bottom, in anything from from 6 to 20 feet, and with excellent holding.

Be careful of those moorings. Many are not maintained and the locals just collect the fee and take off. Last week a boat took a mooring in front of us (we were anchored). I heard them pay $60EC for the night. At 9 pm Paul heard an anchor being dropped. The mooring line had broken and the ball, line and boat attached floated past us. How they didn't hit us we still can't figure out. It looked like the best mooring in the bay. Obviously not. Holding in most places is really great in the Tobago Cays and islands surrounding. We would never ever consider a mooring down here. We live aboard and spend months in these islands. If you take a mooring, definately back down on it. If it breaks, it was not meant to be used. If it hold, be careful if a big swell comes in and overly strains the mooring. That is what happened that nite. And BTW we are on a 43 Lagoon Powercat. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
