An alternative is a slip at Saba Rock, perhaps with a room for the night (check out the Sailor's Rates). Then you have all of the North Sound available by the ferry- Bitter End, Gun Creek, Leverick, Prickly Pear... Nothing like hot showers and air conditioning after some gnarly sailing. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> Also, the views from the garden at night are wonderful.

Never sure whether Prickly Pear is open then or not, and I have no number to contact them I am afraid

CottageGirl said: We'll be on a cat next month for a week and we're starting to think about an itinerary. Last spring we stayed in a slip at Leverick one night, rented a car, did the baths, hog heaven and snorkeled Savannah bay. This trip we have 3 newbies who are prob not that into snorkeling and more about the restaurants and beach bars. We definitely want to stay one night at Leverick getting there early enough in the day to explore the north sound for the afternoon/evening. We leave Road Town on a thurs and hope to make Cooper our first stop. That would put us at Leverick on a Friday. So.....what ideas/suggestions are there for an afternoon and evening in the north sound? The Pig Roast and Jumbie night starts on Nov 11th

Damn! Once again we are at Leverick a week too early. Either way, Leverick is a MUST stop for us.

Nick knows better than me, but I have been to the barbacue so many times that I can certainly say that there are a number of other entre offerings. It's a pretty expansive buffet. As to your original question, there are lots to of great options if you want to either dingy or move your boat down to either Saba or Bitter End for the day and return to the dock at Leverick at night. At that end of the sound, you have Saba, Bitter End - both have great bars. Biras is temporarily closed (we hope) and Fat Virgin is a great stop. I am also told that the mega yacht marina is a very friendly stop, well worth the effort. Th best restaurant in North Sound is right at Leverick. The upstairs restaurant never disappoints.
