M/V “Lady D” serving Central Andros / Fresh Creek & Staniard Creek. Did not sail that week. Capt. Prince Munroe told me that he has been serving Central Andros since 1976. He said the first “Lady D” was built around 1979/1980 and the second (this one) was built in 1992. If you need to move freight to Central Andros his cell # is 1 (242) 554 0483.
 
There is a blog where the author, who is cycling through North America and Europe, inquires about taking the Lady D to Andros, but so far as I can tell never boards her or takes photos: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/page/?page_id=273961
