I think yes - are you just bringing someone over for the ferry and going back? I'm guessing yes...since I highly doubt anyone would be at the Voyage base to check you back in <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> that early....

If you have to be there by 7:00-7:15, then you are pushing it. Are you in a power cat or sailboat? We've done Nanny Cay at that time in the morning. But, I'm guessing you're looking at ~ 8 nautical miles. You might want to spend the night at an outer mooring ball (Bight). Maneuvering through the mooring field can be a challenge in nautical twilight. It can also hurt your popularity with those sleeping on other boats.

Agree with being outer ball. Up early and should be able to leave at first light. Sunrise (weather .com) shows 06:11 sunrise currently. Usually civil daylight is 30 min before then and potentially enough light for you to leave earlier. I would feel comfortable leaving in dark with my chartplotter. One other consideration is whether your contract forbids movement at certain times.
If you motor over it will take one hour. Get underweigh about 5:45 am and you will be fine. You might not get a ball in Sopers until 8 or so when people start leaving so plan on hovering the boat to run them in. A simpler alternative would be to simply spend the night at Sopers. It's a not a bad place to stay.
