Is it common for the Leverick Bay Marina to run out of water? We were there in May and again about two weeks ago on mooring balls. Each time, we pulled up to the dock to top off the tanks and each time we were told that they are out of water.
It was more than a little frustrating to wait in line for a spot just to be told they were out of the only thing we were there for. Is this common? It just makes me leery of that spot in the itinerary to top off because when it didn't work we had to adjust our route to keep from running out later.

Wow, that's peculiar .... I'll be there in ten days and planning on topping off tanks then. Hope there isn't a problem....

There have been water supply issues on both Tortola and Virgin Gorda, pretty much since the new water producer took over. I hear parts of CGB have been out for a week.

The VHF is a very handy device for communicating with a marina to find out the availability of water, fuel, slip space, etc.

But they are often busy, and don't/can't respond to a hail on the VHF. My experience is they don't open till 0800. That results in a lot of jostling for a spot on the Tee dock. A couple of years ago we were on a ball, and ready to get off the ball, fetch some water and ice and be on our way. No response to VHF. And two boats just sitting waiting till opening crew arrived.Then a variation of musical chairs played by boats in front of the dock. Downright silly actually. The management side of me wanted to get on the VHF and organize a waiting list order..reservation for 1, 2, 3. My crew took the mic from me! Last trip we took a slip. Nick came by to say hi, as I missed him the day before. Remember I said how much we like LB and Nick!?
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

Yes, we have learned to pay-up, top off water, and purchase ice the evening before, if we plan an early start to Anegada the next morning. Although, that said, I sometimes forget (it's an old guy thing).

After a night at Leverick of BBQ, drinks and Jumbies waking the crew by 8AM is far more problem than geting ice and water. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />
