Hello fine people,

We are chartering a 48 ft mono 6/27 - 7/7 from Dream Yachts, Maya Cove. Thinking about going to St John, clearing out of Jost. The issue is clearing in at Cruz Bay, St John. I did this 2 years ago. Following the advice obtained on this site, we picked up mooring between Caneel Bay and Lind point. Then the 6 of us took the dinghy around the point to Cruz Bay. It worked out OK but this time there will be 8 in the dinghy. I'm concerned it could be dicey if the conditions aren't great. My question is why not tie up to the customs dock? Isn't that what its for?

Thanks,

Peter
