My wife and I will be taking her parents to the BVI in late June. They are in their late 70's and mobile, but weak ankles and a marginal knee will keep them from bounding in and out of the boat and dinghy.
They'll be on the boat for 3 days out of our 10 day trip. We'll be on a Marine Max 443 PC out of Scrub Island.
Any suggestions on helping them in and out of the boat and dinghy?
Also looking for places to visit that might be a little more friendly to their needs. We'll be provisioned to have meals on the boat, so don't have to load and unload for every lunch and or dinner; but it would be nice to have at least 2 outings on land.
Thanks! Tom
