Thanks for all of the great info on this site! Taking our 1st bareboat charter (Moorings 4000) with 4 couples, 5 days starting October 2nd. Wife and I have stayed on land last 2 years in October (our anniversary month), and one of the other couples were married on Scrub last October so we thought it would be a great time of year to schedule.

Been doing a lot of research and put our initial sail plan together and now hearing about all of the closures during that time (Saba, BEYC, Cooper). Here was our tentative itinerary:
1. Evening on boat at Moorings
2. Cooper & local snorkeling
3. a.m. Baths > Bitter End YC
4. Dogs > slip at Scrub (scene of the crime)
5. Sandy Cay > White Bay/Soggy Dollar
6. Lunch Soppers > Indians/Norman
7. Return

Should we make a change w/ Cooper Beach Club closed? Should we still go to North Sound and just get a slip at Leverick? Any other itinerary suggestions or closures you know about?

My other grey area is provisioning…we plan on eating dinners on shore (but will have 1 backup dinner on the boat) and eat most breakfasts & some lunches on-board. Wondering how much space we’ll have on that boat for the initial provisions? With limited fridge/storage space, should we only plan on initially stocking for a few days and plan on a re-stock along the way? Also, any other good breakfast (for 8) ideas would be appreciated!!
