My husband and I and a newbie couple are sailing soon!! We are finally returning after five years. Last time we went was in May, will it be harder to get mooring now? Also, never been to Leverick Bay and it sounds good. Can we reserve a slip? Can we leave the boat there to explore Virgin Gorda? Safe? Can you really BBQ without setting boat on fire? Never did that before. Any suggestions for great music? We were too late in season last time. Any suggestions for making the trip even more awesome than we expect? Thanks!!!

Not sure on the mooring - never been in April, but if its during spring break, I'd assume it would be more difficult.
For a slip, contact Nick and make a reservation - it can fill up. And yes you can leave the boat at Leverick and explore - we try not to leave it too late - usually we spend too nights and leave early morning - this way we have a whole day to explore.
When using the BBQ, just move the dinghy away from it.

Also, do not BBQ on the dock. Mooring or anchor are OK, but not on the dock where you could start a fire or ruin your neighbors evening.

we sailed last year in the 2nd week in April and never had a problem getting a mooring. Most were filled by 3:00 though and some by 2:00. We are going down again April 1 for a week and are planning 2 nights at Leverick (our first time there!).
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - beer in hand - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

Saw on another post you are sailing April 10-18.
You will be barely overlapping the big Northeast public school vacation, which will be 4/16 to 4/24. Probably will not affect you while sailing, but FOR SURE be prepared for airport madness on your way back home, especially if you are routed through any airport on the east coast.
