You will probably need to give at least 2 hours notice for dinners on Anegada.
As for taxi on JVD, Foxy's or Corsairs is a good place to catch a cab.

It looks like Quito's schedule will be solo Tuesday night, Happy hour Wednesday and with the Edge on Friday night.

Thurs - plan on arriving at Cooper early, otherwise, have a backup plan as there will not likely be any mooring balls available. Also, dinner reservations at the restaurant are necessary as they fill up early. You could probably email in advance for a reservation.
Fri - You might taxi up to Hog Heaven and walk back down to Leverick Bay. Expect the temperature up at hog heaven to be a lot cooler than down by the boat. You might want a light windbreaker.
Sat/Sun make your dinner reservations real early as food is prepared to order.
Monday - Cane Garden Bay can be rolly. Check the swells and consider modify your plan.
Be careful making dinner reservations on the radio. We were broken into once years ago after announcing over the radio the request for a dinner reservation. If you use the radio, consider using a different boat name.
I hope this helps.

Call on the radio for dinner reservations. You can always ask them what is on todays menu. This also helps them with their marketing too. Their restaurant name and menu is being broadcast to other boaters.
I like the idea of using a fake boat name and I you can always use "Cottage Girl" or "Crooked Lake Guy" when making your reservations. I am thinking of using the name "Moose Jaw" or "Moose Jaw Junction" in January when we have our week on a leaner in the BVIs.
You should find out at lunch how Cane Garden Bay is acting with the North Swells. I've never been there in November but in Jan, Feb and March, sometimes it can get pretty uncomfortable with the North Swells.
Enjoy your trip!

When I was there last February, I was told to phone my reservations in. The restaurants numbers are in the cruising guide. When you get to Anegada, you'll probably be greeted by two or three boats handing you menus and wanting to take your reservation right then and there. If I you're not ready just thank them and let them know you'll decide a bit later. 4:00 is the time they request reservations by so they know how many lobsters to "dispatch". Have fun!!!

Heck Rick, my wife likes to run up and back to Hog Heaven from Leverick for a light workout. I think Nick is still positive she's got to be crazy.

Sounds like a great plan. I dreamt I was in CGB last night but need to wait until March. I normally start dreaming about BVIs nightly as my trips near.
Cheers,
Marcia

The wonky dog menu is not the only great thing there. Wait till you try the food! I am planning on being there a couple of days after you. We have always enjoyed dining with Peter and Desney and looking forward to our next visit.
