MIT Flotilla - 2020

Was just reading the following trip report from 2019 which mentioned the MIT flotilla.

We are heading down in May (2-10) anybody know if the MIT flotilla will be on this year and if so what are the dates/ itinerary?

Thanks!

May 19-26

Road town
Great Harbor Peter
Leverick
Leverick
CGB
JVD
Norman

Timing is everything. Good planning! Have fun.

Thanks for that!!! We'll be down May 20-31. I'll try to adjust. How many boats are typically in the Flotilla?

Adjustment is to check their itinerary and be somewhere they are NOT!

Sleepy Chef, thanks!!!!

We counted 22 or so last May

So if I'm looking at this correctly, they should be at Leverick on Friday night the 22nd?

Thanks!!! I will certainly try to avoid that. I was hoping to go to the Leverick Friday night bbq. I may save that for my second Friday🙂

In my view, the biggest problem with the MIT crowed arises if you are trying to take a ferry at the same time as them.

If you think that may be the case, get to the ferry extra early. A reserved seat is merely a suggestion.

So help me. Does your itinerary mean they start overnight at Road Town on the night of the 19th and finish at Norman on the night of the 25th?

Last year 10 to 12 (maybe more?) of the MIT boats came out of Scrub Island. We adjusted our schedule to avoid them. Biggest challenge for us was our bulk provision deliveries ran late including a portion that we found the next morning stacked up at the Scrub Island store. After that, we only saw the MIT boats in the distance. Luckily we had already planned an extra day of charter, so they were gone when we turned our boat in.
