Anyone going to anchored at Foxy's for New years ? I've been before but never with my own boat. I'm aware is it going to be a nightmarish scenario in that harbor. Any tips?

We're going to be at Peter island on a dock for new years. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

You need to get there early, as in days before New Years Eve. We were moored in White Bay last year and it was a total zoo. We saw 3 Cats try to sail right over the reef. We got there on December 29 to get our mooring. For NYE we took a taxi over to Foxy's so we didn't have to worry as much about the dingy dock in Great Harbor which is packed.

The safe bet is to take a mooring at Diamond Cay, Foxy's Taboo and cab it over. Otherwise get there two days early and spend half your trip trying to keep other people from hitting you for three days. It's a great way to spend a trip <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Jay

ScubaDrew- I misread your post thinking you meant that now you're on your "own" boat. HOWEVER, check your charter company's policy on JVD for New Year's. Unless you're on a crewed charter, most companies red-line it for the holiday. I can't remember if we were with Moorings or Horizon on our last New Year's charter, but we were all very clearly told that if we went there & there was any damage, we were not insured & would be responsible for any & all damage, out-of-pocket, on the spot, no deductible.
If I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a horrible warning.

Best show is at the West End ferry dock on New Years Day, watching folks stumble off the Jost ferry and the crew drag the buckets and mops aboard. Even more fun if the swells are up. Personally, I stay away from Jost Dec 30,31 and Jan 1. Been there, done that.

The Moorings and BVI Yacht Charters do allow their boats to go to JVD for NYE. Horizon does not.
You can always anchor outside the reef at White Bay or further out of the bay in Great Harbor.

Jaustex said: Great Harbor has plenty of room -- Get there early and make sure you have properly set the hook with the correct rode---- and peel off and talk to your neighbors to make sure they did it right also--- forgot all these fuddy duddies and have a good time Have you been to Great Harbour on NYE? There is NOT plenty of room and if you owned the boat you would stay away. You might have the correct rode, but your neighbors might not have a clue.

I'd probably avoid all the busy places for NYE. I'd probably try White Bay on Guana. Then again, we likely won't ever be there that week.

Just as a side note, I spoke to a lady at Foxys last Saturday and she was in the process of getting Last Resort ready for about mid December. The NYE parties have always been good there.

You will not get a mooring ball in White Bay on the 31st around 11 due to the day crowds. It is nuts there during the day. Looks a bit like Spring Break, Daytona Beach, 1985. OK, now I'm dating myself! We got to White Bay last year early on the 29th and what we noticed is that mooring balls opened up around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. We just stayed there until New Years day. Took a cab over to Foxy's for NYE. White Bay is one of my favorite anchorages.
