NC and Bailau

Appreciate the heads up on dinking from Marina Cay . You are correct in taking the boat over to Trellis, and then dinking ashore in the a.m, should be the plan.

Back a few years, I did see the small dock banger making the passage from Trellis, did not stop in Marina Cay on the way to SCRUB. This was repeating trips , before they began landing at Marina Cay. This was a much smaller
open boat, than the current ferry which is much larger..

Again, this was in may, and the waters were pretty calm. The OP's, trip would not have been at night since the flight is at 9:15 am. ..

But, safety at sea is paramount. Not to mention, the problems with the bare boat companies outboard motors. You all are right on.

However, not sure when the ferry returns from SCRUB to Marina Cay, in the early a.m. it the sked would work with , checking in, customs, breakfast, and the flight.

Agree with dropping off and taking the boat over, heave to, send the dink ashore, and then return to the boat and head back to marina cay or the next destination.



Thanks
