Yup, sleep aboard. Not possible to get off the dock with a 6pm start.

Last 5 years we've been with Sunsail.

We arrive to the marina around 7pm, if we still have some fight left in us after 18hrs travelling then we sort provisions out from Riteway. Next morning final few details, check-out briefing and then get off the dock as soon as possible.

Best we've done is about 9.30am cast off. Worst (due to some bits that needed fixing/sorting on the boat) was midday. In either case...nice sail down to Norman, pick up ball...get into that azure water, snorkel...painkiller...painkiller...painkiller.

We always find it hard to get onto 'island time' that first morning...when you just want to get going! But...trying to rush the staff at the base doesn't usually help!
