Moorings
Primarily well equipped marinas though smaller harbours require you to pick up a buoy. You can expect to pay mooring fees just about everywhere you go from the smallest village quay to the large modern marinas and prices vary.
The best sailing is in the deep waters of the Inner Channel and Victoria Channel. Trade winds are usually fairly consistent out of an easterly direction. Tidal range is minimal, being about 18" at springs.
