On that day, I think we'll be coming from JVD heading to Norman or Peter. Need to drop them off on Tortola early enough to catch a taxi to catch the 10:00 am ferry. Thoughts on best place to drop off and by what time? Soper's or Nanny Cay? (we're on a sailing cat)

You go right by it on the way to Norman from JVD. They can catch the 10:30 ferry. The dinghy dock is about 50 yards past the ferry dock. Grab any open Mooring and run them in. It will not cost you more then 30 minutes extra enroute to Norman. Your post suggests you were thinking about dropping them to cab to Roadtown. No need for that. Make sure you don't buy roundtrip tickets. Last edited by GeorgeC1; 02/03/2017 10:13 AM.

We dropped friends off today for the same ferry and the gentleman at the window wouldn't sell them a ticket - Said they had to be there 45 minutes ahead - They waited for the 12:15 and still made their flight but it was close given the cut off times in STT. Also the ferries left WE early today ahead of schedule.

Get there early..leave bags with the taxi office..very nice breakfast at " Fishtails" just down the dock and then cab on to airport..

Runs like clockwork.
