Well that’s a interesting selection. Many of those anchorages are suitable for day or very settled weather only. Some only have room for 2 maybe 3 boats and the only anchorage approved on Anegada is off limits to most charterboats. 5 are unusable with a North Swell. Others require strong anchoring skills. Where are the boats expected to go if the overnight forecast is bad? $20,000.00 dollar fine if you pull into the bight or great harbor with a severe line of thunderstorms forecast? I think Lucy yanked the football yet again or is this a joke? G

I agree, 9 and 14 are it if there is a possibility for bad weather. I guess the other option is return to your charter base. That makes no sense from a covid perspective.

Thought the whole idea was to use mooring fields. Most of these seem to be anchoring areas. Looks like 9 is leverick Bay area. 9 is actually to the West of the mooring field. Anchor only.

14 at Little Jost is labeled Manchioneel Bay. Isn't that the mooring area at Cooper?

It was posted in another thread, but it doesn't hurt for this to be it's own thread, due to the importance of the information, to make it easier to find.

Are they reading any of the current science on how covid is transmitted? Unless your rafting up and hosting parties you can’t get any safer than moorings in the BVI. and this assumes someone is actually bringing COVID in to give it to you at a mooring which after at least 3 tests and 5 days of quarantine shouldn't be an issue on a boat...

yep.... not on Navionics map but found it using Google Maps.
FYI... The name "manchineel" (sometimes spelled "manchioneel" or "manchineal"), as well as the specific epithet mancinella, is from Spanish manzanilla ("little apple"), from the superficial resemblance of its fruit and leaves to those of an apple tree. It is also known as the beach apple.
Don't eat the apples!

Why did the BVI call these mooring fields. Very deceptive. All are anchoring only. Many credit card captains have no idea how to anchor and the amount of room that is needed between boats anchored. I used to keep my yacht moored on the most western mooring at Leverick Bay. If i use 100 ft of chain then I will need 200 ft diameter of anchoring room. This gets you close to the western shore of the leverick bay mooring field.

Yep, sure nuf. It will be interesting to see if they are 'run off'?

I understand Voyage had a catamaran go out yesterday afternoon, or maybe this morning. I can't identify the boat on the webcam, so I sent a 'chat' message to Voyage, and they will check. With these stories of crazy fines, no need to get another one going.

I do see a cat moored at Cooper on a ball. There are people other than tourists here. We had a cat in CGB last week and saw several boats in Anegada last weekend. BVI people are doing staycations and some own boats here. Just sayin'.....

Perhaps the power cat got the word, they have now departed. (It is obvious I have no life. I sit here in freezing temperatures watching BVI webcams all day) :-(
