Pirates Bight at Norman has a good dock and should be accessible. Leverick would be another spot with a good dingy dock. Bitter end and Saba both have good docks. We beached the dinghy at B-line It might be easier to beach the dinghy and have him swing over and wade in. Last trip we saw a young man in a wheel chair that was having a blast. His crew has a bosun chair set up to get him into the dinghy and they had the 4 arm ladder carry down pat. In and out of the dinghy no problem!! I hope you have a wonderful trip

The departure tax is 40.00 from the airport. They collect 20.00 in the ticket price and 20.00 when you go through security. They hope by splitting it no one realizes how high the tax is. When the new runway is done it will probably be a 100.00. G

We travel with my 85 year old mother every year and have found that beaching the dinghy is much easier in getting her out than going up to a dock. With a dock she usually has to step up but with the beach she can just swing her legs over to stand up.
