Moored at Cooper this evening. We will be taking 2 passengers to Road Town in the morning to catch a 10:00 ferry.
What’s the best way to get them there, or at least close to the ferry dock?
Is there a dingy dock near the ferry? Moor outside Wickams Cay, dingy to the Moorings base and have them take a cab?
Thanks for any info!

Might be a bit of a climb but are there any rules against bringing a dinghy in to the domestic side of the ferry terminal?

You wan't believe this but I was told they cant get the new ferries approved until they are used. Something with USA certification.. i.e. new boat can't get approval but used can. Sounds stupid to me but that,s politics.

That seems to be true tho I cannt find the relevent code. STT to BVI is not covered by the Jones act because that law only pertains to activities between US ports. RTFF's new boats were built in Austrailia so they cannot be used in US trade until they reach a certain age. It may be some USCG or Customs regulation.

Perfect logic. Can't get a new boat approved until it's used. Can't use a new boat until it's approved
