We have been on island Christmas week for a good many years. Each year gets more crowded. By late afternoon there are charter boats squatting every private mooring anywhere near Marina Cay/Trellis Bay. I have seen 50' plus catamarans grab private moorings intended for 20' motor boats.

I have seen several catamarans anchored overnight on Diamond Reef at the same time. Maybe the anchor is 10-15' from the reef, but a little drag and the damage is done.

If you know you're likely to be at Leverick Bay or Scrub for a night, you may want to book those slips now.
