we sailed out of Placencia with Moorings last january. stores were open on sunday, but pickings were somewhat slim. apparently, they get big delivery on mondays. we were able to stock the boats, but it was a bit of a challenge. next time, we decided we will leave on a tuesday.
we did not have a local guide/captain, but we were able to buy conch/snapper/lobster from the local fishermen on several days. mmmmm they would typically paddle up to us and offer up some of their daily catch.
since a few of my shipmates did not read the "everyone is responsible for their own alcohol" memo, we were also glad to find a couple of cays where we could get more Belikins. (at a premium price, of course)
we were out for 8 days, and Silk Cays was the only place we shared a mooring area with any other boat (other than the two in our group). what an incredible trip!
