Thanks tradewinds. I will just be bummed having to catch the 7am ferry as it basically takes our last night away (was planning on Norman last night). that 7am ferry would mean our last night would be spent in RT which is pretty far from ideal
You can take the 9:30 ferry (Tortola Fast Ferry, aka Smiths) and be ok. Arrive at the ferry terminal by 9:15, walk past all the crowds waiting for the big power cat express ferry (RTFF), board the almost empty 9:30, stop at WE to pick up more, then arrive at CA before the RTFF does. Stake out a seat near the boat's door so you'll be positioned near the front of the line for C&I upon arrival at the dock, take a taxi immediately to the airport, and you'll get there in plenty of time. Same for the OP's 2 PM flight.
We're usually off the ferry in CA, checked through C&I, and upstairs at Petite Pump Room having our first beer while the RTFF is still idling in the harbor waiting to come in.
