We are anchored in Long Bay. Wondering if it is possible to visit Little Dix for coffee or lunch by dinghy? Thanks.

At dusk we thought we were going to have it to ourselves, then 3 other boats came in and dropped anchor.... all on the larger side. Sail cat, power cat and a yacht (something like "Angeleyes") bordering on superyacht. That one is one of the few large yachts we've seen consistently in the covid dry spell.

Long bay is a 5 mile roundtrip. That’s a bit further than I would want to go in a standard charterboat dinghy. If your dinghy will plane with the number of people you want to take might be doable on a nice day. Just the two of us, and with the 15 hp it will plane easily. Is there a dinghy dock? Channel through the reef? Wondering if we will be at all welcome.

It’s been a long time since I was in there. You enter on the right and there was a single dock. Don’t know if it survived Irma. We were not welcomed but brought the boat in. Maybe a place Boatyball should look into!

Well I called them and was informed that they were booked out for lunch and breakfast had ended so there were no coffee options. Didn't sound very welcome to say the least :-)
I thought I might paddle board there from our anchorage, and I made it as far as Savannah but thought better of going all the way since the return from Tom Tom pt would have been upwind. As it was I was plenty tired from the 4.5 miles round trip. I had already paddled at Mountain Point in the morning and my wife and I snorkeled at the Kodiak Queen.
