Ross, that isn’t a typo, 6 min plane ride. There is a water taxi (motor boat) available but there is some confusion to this issue and it depends on whom you get your news from according to one source; The passengers in question did try to board a water taxi but where turned away because they where too intoxicated.
And from other sources; they tried to board a water taxi but passengers where turned away because they wanted to bring alcohol and that was against the operators rules.
Either way it is a shame that we lost a great pilot. I knew him very well and he is sorely missed in the aviation community. You could not have asked for a nicer guy.
