A few years ago Island Yacht Charters lost one of their big sailboats on the East side of VG. Never got the straight story but the biggest issue was too close to a leeward shore. I promised myself right then I'd stop doing that! Several times when rounding Beef Island I've been surprised how close some others cut the corner.

With a power-only boat it might just be prolonging your agony. Bet you sure were glad when you felt that anchor grab! As steep as the hill is there I would have thought you'd have to be pretty darn close to get to 40' of water.

Thanks for posting, good job!
