The anchorage at Maho Bay is in the back corner of the big bay and is quite sheltered. The other bays have wakes from the big powerboats and BVI ferries occasionally washing through, and are otherwise a bit more exposed to the elements. I did notice one disadvantage of a very calm mooring in the morning, though. During the night I’d wrapped the mooring pennant around the keel and was lying sideways to the (very light) wind and the only way I could resolve the problem was by releasing the line and then motoring so that I could pick it up again.
I’d picked up some artisan bread the day before and had that for breakfast and along with some roast beef for lunch, and just played unsuccessfully with the fridge and freezer programming for a bit. I did go swimming and snorkeling in the shallow waters of the national park but mainly stayed aboard and bemoaned my imminent departure for colder climes.
