I do and I encourage charter guests do the same when I give them a briefing.

We had a mooring line part some years ago at The Bitter End...

Re: EXTREME CAUTION PETER ISLAND

Sorry to hear of your experience. I trust my anchor much more than an unknown mooring, which is one of the reasons I rarely pick up a mooring when I'm in the BVIs and anchor instead.
