We decided to go to little harbor with Velocity because the winds were to come from the north, and this anchorage off Peter Island is very protected. We spend a couple of days snorkling and paddling around the anchorage and enjoying the company of our friends. Although this wasn't a very big anchorage, it was able to accomodate many boats beause they were all med moored.

Little Harbor is a Med Mooring anchorage, meaning that you need to stern tie to the land. This was our first time doing a med mooring. We set the anchor, and dropped the dinghy in the water, and Blair tied the first line around a tree. This went well, but it took awhile to take the 2nd line to shore and tie it off. Meanwhile, I'm on the boat and we're swinging awfully close to the boat on our starboard., and I have no way to control the boat, as we had already set the anchor. Luckily Blair was able to tie the 2nd line, but it was nerve racking for me.  It wasn't perfect but it was done. 

There were some big 80' Sunreef Catamaras (Valued at $10M). We didn't see much activity on these boats, although they did have their night lights on as if we were at a Disco. Although this is pretty, the light pollution is bad for turtle and other marine life that relys on the phases of the moon for mating, and  living their lives. 

Upon leaving I decided that I would rather just take my paddle board and undo the lines instead of undoing the lines eith the dinghy and then scrambling to bring the dinghy on board while the boat was moving. I removed the first line without a hitch. When I went to remove the 2nd line, it was so tight that I couldn't undo it, so had to paddle back to the boat, get a screw driver, and then paddle back to shore. In the mean time the boat started to swing AGAIN to the boat on our starboard. It was taking me forever to try and loosen the knot, so Blair finally just let the line go from the boat and pulled up the anchor and motored away. Naturally when he let the line go from the boat, all the pressure was released and I was now able to undo the knot. Once I had all the line coiled up, I paddled back to the boat in the middle of the anchorage. AGAIN not as smooth as I would have liked, but we had more skills to add to our tool box. We now have techniuques to both coming and going in a med mooring situatio
