Jost Van Dyke has around three hundred residents and a wildly outsized reputation, built on Foxy's and the Soggy Dollar. The east end, where this anchorage is, is the quiet half. Anchorage: Anchor off Diamond Cay at the east end of Jost Van Dyke and walk ten minutes across the salt pond to the pool. Sheltered anchorage, mangrove and bird life, and a bar at each end of the day. Hazards: The Bubbly Pool works because Atlantic swell funnels into a rock cleft.
