We took the ferry back 2 weeks ago, and it never occurred to me that there could be this problem. I always have a Plan B, and this time I didn’t. Thank goodness all went smoothly.
From what I recall from the era of El Tigre, and all of the catamarans that would take sxm time share customers to this unknown island with dirt roads, the ride towards sbh can be pretty bumpy on the best of days.

Yes, the often-used lie on those cats was “It’s not usually like this. It’s a little rough today”. Said to the passengers who were already into their 3rd tiny Heineken or Rum Punch before the boat cleared the Philipsburg harbor, and were about to start spewing over the side. The P’burg - Gustavia trip was usually into the prevailing seas.
The ride back to P-burg, with following seas, was always more pleasant.
