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="" />
