Anyone have anchorage advice for the weather this week? (see Wx below)
It was windy when we grabbed a ball at Trellis last night, but it wasn’t bad, even when some stuff rolled thru this morning. We’re still here now to pick up our kids arriving this afternoon and I’m curious about Trellis vs. Marina Cay tonight.
I’m curious if anyone has recommendations for specific areas of mooring fields or anchorages that would be good for this week.
This is our fifth or sixth time here and I feel that I’m pretty familiar with which areas are best to avoid.
Cheers

You are going to be in the 15 to 20 knot range the next 5 days. Only good news is the N swell drops a bit on Tuesday and clocks around more to the east. Any of the protected anchorages will be fine. If you want to hide a bit from the wind Great and Little Harbor on Jost. Cooper, Great harbor at Peter, Bight but avoid the cut there. Cane Garden Bay should be OK Tuesday night or later. Marina Key will be OK but windy.

Lee Bay will be windy. It might be impacted by the swell. Hard to call it with the shift to the NE.

Get one of the Bitter End Reserve balls on-line. They are closer to shore and more protected which makes for an easy dinghy ride. Ask them to have Captain Kinto pick you up and take you to Saba Rock. It was very easy and much better than a wet dinghy ride. We were there 2 nights ago. Leverick was pretty rolly and choppy last night.

I knew I could count on the TTOL gang.
Thanks!

I just figured with no fetch and good holding and steady wind direction it would be better than the tail wagging the dog at Marina Cay. I didn't know that Lee Bay feels the North swell tho...

Lee Bay gets the Northswell effect and rather badly if it’s straight out of the N. As it clocks around to the NE it gets better.
