This is a great idea; now if we can just get the dingys driving the dinghies to use them! Each time we are at GSBH, we see these near mishaps and breathe another sigh of relief that there are no injuries. What they do not seem to understand is that there is a drop-off right near the shore that causes even small swells to make beaching a boat very difficult without getting washed over and pulled back and out...which then makes disembarking impossible without either getting soaked at the very least and more likely getting dumped or hit by the boat. Many seem to think that beaching is the thing to do with children and the elderly but they are the most likely to get hurt. And the more bodies in the boat increases the risks much more. Better to dock at the yacht harbor and take a multiseat "taxi"; they let you off at the Baths and return to get you....all safe, and dry and you get to see some of the island. Better all around. Enjoy but be safe.
