Listen to George - Pre-arrange a meeting at the STT airport with either Kevin or Stanley (Love Cab). They will take the ladies to the next ferry headed to West End from either Charlotte Amalie or Red Hook. (Worst case, they end-up on a ferry to Road Town and back-track by taxi to West End .... second worse case is arriving too late to take any ferry to Tortola, therefore stay overnight on St. Thomas and take first ferry the next morning.) In the meantime the fellows finish check-out, briefing, provisioning, followed by a leisure motor to West End (Soper's Hole) and grab a mooring ball somewhere between C & I and the marina. Have the drinks ready on board and take the dinghy to the small dock east of C&I to meet the ladies (or they can take the $6 taxi ride over to the marina). Dinner at Pusser's or Fish-n-Lime, or "upscale" at Scramouche. Harbor Market opens at 7:00 am for final provisioning items before starting your adventure.
