I also would vote for John Brewer's, but I heard recently that they aren't allowing anchoring there. This was second hand information, though. The bay is under serious investigation by UVI. They have been mapping it and counting wildlife, etc.

" I haven't heard of any restrictions except for boats that look to stay there permanently and try mooring."
Come to think of it, I think that is what they were talking about... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Blush.gif" alt="" />

I stayed in Lindbergh Bay mid july on a fifty monohull last night before returning to CYOA. Very rolly! And short period. We had pulled into Honeymoon first. It was pretty full but we did find a spot to anchor. The place was party central with piles of people coming and going and loud music. Not my kind of place so we moved on. I heard from cptn Jay the the next day that this only happens about twice a year and in any case the place goes dead by seven.
If it were me I would try Honeymoon. And if that doesnt work I would use a mooring ball at CYOA before I would choose Lindbergh but of course a cat might be just fine there. There is another option that capt Jay told me about - there is a bay tucked icreated/sheltered by the runway. From what he said its pretty well protected. Check with Jay.

Twanger said: It's 2pm and we're currently anchored in sand in Brewers. 19 foot water depth. Very calm and beautiful. Only one other boat here.
Airliners are bringing loads of tourists in and out. Not too loud at all. Fun to watch them come in and land.
Last night on the boat tonight and feeling melancholy. Had a great trip exploring the SVI.
Will provide some details after we return to the states. It was great to finally meet you in person!! Are you sure you were anchored in 19' of water? In an earlier post I put in my description as anchor in 20' of water over sand. Maybe it was high tide. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Teasing of course. Glad you had a good time.
