Is there still a restaurant on the back of Peter island ( not at the resort)? In the past, we've overnighted there, had great snorkeling and a decent meal before returning to the Moorings the next morning.

As I recall, everyone chartering from the moorings is on the same Saturday-to-Saturday schedule?
If so, you might take that account when selecting a location for the last night, and even more-so when you arrive there.
I generally like to get to my anchorage before noon, to be sure I'll find a spot.

Everyone charters from Saturday to Saturday? I usually start my charters on Wed or Thursday from Moorings....not sure I understand this comment (sorry to take this off topic)

Sat-Sat might be common, but not always typical.
Only other restaurant I'm aware of on Peter is Oceans 7 which is in Great Harbor. I wouldn't consider that the back side. Certainly an easy spot to stay and head back from the next morning.
Our last night, we've stayed at Norman, Peter, Cooper and Marina Cay. All are easy enough to get back from in time - some you'll just want to leave earlier.

with the Moorings you can start and end your charter any day of the week. I just got back two weeks ago left on a Wednesday and returned on a
Thursday

That's good to know.
back in 2000 we chartered with them and it was a zoo on Saturdays because of this.
Sounds like it has changed.

What if you want to go for more then a week? It's a zoo on Saturday because most people work Monday-Friday. We never travel on weekends, airfares and hotels are always cheaper on weekdays.

Any day can be a zoo - worst during the busy season. We typically always start on a saturday, but try to go 10 days so we end on a mon/tue or so..
For the first time since our first charter or two, I think we'll be sleeping board the first night - with a 6 month old, we will not be taking a red eye.

Julian Hodge (who use to work at Moorings) once told me that Tuesday or Wednesday is best to start...slower days.....and all of the other points are VERY valid as well regarding airfares, hotel, etc. Again...so I took this off course! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
