If you moored in Leverick Bay, could you take the dingy to the Bitter End, Prickly Pear, Saba Rock...

Possible but uncomfortable, potentially hazardous after sundown. I would just use the iron genoa and move from Leverick to BEYC or Saba and back if desired.

The chop in the North Sound can be surprisingly high, but a big Caribe dinghy and outboard will certainly be sufficient. But as mentioned in this thread, I'd be careful after dark and make sure that the dinghy is well-lit.

We started out going clockwise - at around 11:30am - Prickly Pear, Saba, BEYC, Lunch at Fat Virgin, back to Leverick - I think we all got back around 3 or so. It is NOT something I would do after dark.

I make a habit of having a handheld VHF with me in the dinghy. I would be especially inclined to do this when taking a relatively long ride (like Leverick to BEYC), and even more so if I were going to (foolishly?) ignore some of the advice here and do it at night.
