Many of these ferries were mom-and-pop operations that didn&#8217;t have a web presence. Those that did might have used any of four languages depending on location (Dutch, English, French or Spanish). Unfortunately, translation software has its limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/96225726@N08\/8905904474\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/3793\/8905904474_beed421de9_b.jpg\" alt=\"The ferry departs for Anguilla as viewed from Fort Louis in Marigot, St. Martin. Photo by howderfamily.com; (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)\"\/><\/a><figcaption>The Ferry from St. Martin to Anguilla<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also I discovered that many routes were transient. They could discontinue or restart based on time of year, fluctuations in the price of fuel or the wherewithal of local entrepreneurs. Even finding dockside waypoints had its complications since many Caribbean ferries were simply modified pleasure craft. They&#8217;re more akin to Water Taxis than specialized roll-on \/ roll-of vessels found in other areas I&#8217;ve researched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, and those minor frustrations aside, I learned a lot more about the Caribbean, its history, its cultures and its peoples during my various Internet searches. Many of these ferries serve local populations that may not have the means or inclination to island-hop by aircraft. Ferries provide an economical way to connect outlying islands to population centers, deliver mail and packages, and bring goods to market. Sure, some of them catered to the cruise ship set. Nonetheless, the greater number served basic transportation needs of a local populace where roads cannot exist by definition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notable Routes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here were some of the interesting spots I discovered along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bahamas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m10!1m8!1m3!1d93393.06428082977!2d-77.030296!3d26.547073!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!5e1!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1617879450300!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bahamas is part of the &#8220;and beyond&#8221; portion of the map since it&#8217;s actually just outside of the Caribbean basin. Viewing the Sea of Abaco from above conjured up all sorts of wonderful images to me, of pristine reefs blanketed by shallow sapphire waters. Several ferries cross here regularly. They connected Great Abaco Island to outlying cays with colorful names like Elbow, Man-O-War, Scotland, and Great Guana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nicaragua<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m10!1m8!1m3!1d51027.11408190057!2d-83.052692!3d12.1694!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!5e1!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1617879501115!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big Corn Island sits some 70 kilometers off the coast of Nicaragua. It&#8217;s part of Nicaragua while at the same time it&#8217;s removed. Some inhabitants speak English as a native language, a vestige of an earlier time when the Corn Islands were included within a British protectorate. The &#8220;Captain D.&#8221; serves Big Corn Island weekly, starting deep within the interior of mainland Nicaragua. The journey begins at El Rama and winds downstream along the Rio Escondido to Bluefields. Then it cuts across the open Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Netherlands Antilles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m10!1m8!1m3!1d1594.9720883607!2d-68.934301!3d12.106797!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!5e1!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1617879555584!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the more curious ferries I ran into was in Willemstad, Cura\u00e7ao in the Netherlands Antilles. It crosses the Sint Annabaai Channel between the two historic sections of the city, Punda and Otrobanda. Punda is the older section of the city and dates to 1634 when the Dutch took Cura\u00e7ao from Spain. Otrobanda is the newer side, relatively speaking, with its roots going back to 1707.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otrobanda derives from a Papiamento creole phrase that translates to &#8220;the other side&#8221;. That certainly deserves credit for accuracy although perhaps not so much for originality. Why am I curious about this ferry? Well, because it doesn&#8217;t seem to give much advantage. There appears to be a bridge nearby that seems to be a viable option even by foot. Perhaps someone who has traveled there can enlighten me. OK, I was actually more fascinated by the derivation of Otrobanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m10!1m8!1m3!1d1554.754962166544!2d-63.251826!3d17.616369!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!5e1!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1617879609491!5m2!1sen!2sus\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saba is another island within the Netherlands Antilles, and the smallest of the set. It also has the point of highest elevation in the Netherlands at Mount Scenery, an 877 meter dormant volcano. Less than 1,500 people live here among the woodlands and lush ferns of this quiet corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regular readers have gotten used to my unnatural fascination with, and periodic musings about ferries.
