I don't know, Oleg, I got stuck for a few hours on Culebra (via the ferry) one time and barely, barely made my flight back to the States -- which wouldn't have been so bad, except I had just started a new job and didn't want to be "that person". Having been to Culebra two dozen times or so, if I absolutely needed to get back to the States, I would not risk the ferry. In fact, my MO is -- never take the ferry to get off the island. If I were you trying to get off the island on a holiday weekend, I would take the 6:30 am. It's painful, but by the time the campers get up and get moving and get in line, they are all going to be crowding onto the 1pm ferry. Every ferry on a holiday weekend is crowded - coming and going. As far as I know, the ferry dock has not been fully repaired after Hurricane Earl, and so they are still running the smaller ferries, which hold less people. And when 80% of those people have camping gear, they hold even less people. This week - Santa Semana - is a big holiday week/weekends for the Puertoricans.
Maybe Terri @ Palmetto could confirm whether they are still using the smaller ferries.
In any event, last thing I'm saying on the subject, if you can afford to fly during this busy time, do it.
Happy Diving!
Debbie
