Ugh - we were thinking about booking flights with a Seaborne leg for November - now I am hesitant.

How is it such a pain to get to Tortola? Ferry system can be borderline abusive but at least it runs... most of the time, even if it's not one time. And I guess if you get stranded on St. Thomas you can also pony up for a pricey water taxi at the last minute...?
