dcareri said: CaptainJay,
We've been planning to do exactly as you recommended but Active Captain reviews make it sound like anchoring in HOneymoon is very difficult due to fouled bottom. Any more local knowledge you can supply to help us first timers? Thanks Honeymoon can be tough and it is weather dependent. The inside area which is 10 feet deep and mainly sand is normally full. This leaves anchoring on the outer fringes in 25 to 30 feet of water. The fouled areas listed in Active Captain are off either point of the bay. There is a lot of rock and broken coral rubble just off either point. In the winter or in unsettled weather anchoring out can be uncomfortable. This time of year it is normally fine. As a bailout Lindbergh Bay is straight across. So if you get there and are uncomfortable with the room you can easily move over there. Also Brewer's Bay behind the airport is a short trip. There is also room to anchor in Elephant Bay between St Thomas and Water Island. This is a large private mooring field but there is still room in a few places to anchor. This also will likely be in 25 to 30 feet of water. So make sure you have the chain for that. Jay
