Customs made us pay the dock fee last year, we tied our dingy up to the very western edge of the concrete dock. I guess they watch the dock closely, hard to notice a 10ft dingy way down on the end.

Prior to that, never charged, done it about 3 times before.

Anyway, this year (Feb 2016) we went to the dingy dock over by the ferry dock and walked over. Not sure if this is technically OK, but I have read a lot of posts where others do this and had not read about any problems. Tying the dingy up on the dingy dock north side of ferry dock works best for us, as we usually like to look around Cruz bay after we clear in. US customs have always been easy/smooth for us. BVI seems to take longer, but with the NP Fee and other fees I guess that is to be expected.

BTW, I think they charged us $6.66 too, I wanted to pay $6.67 but no go....

We leave the boat at Lind Point ....
