We are doing everything we can to avoid using boats and dive charters, if that helps. Basically, park the cars, get in somewhere free, get out somewhere free.
Thanks for the suggestions -- keep 'em coming.
Rum Island to Hwy 47 is a long way to drift without at least a canoe or kayak for support. You would probably be out of air long before you got there and then just drifting to get to your exit point.
I would suggest renting a kayak from Jim Woods and do it that way. Then when the dive is over, you can have an easy paddle, pack a lunch, drinks, etc.
Years ago, a buddy and I parked at 47 and walked thru the woods with our gear and got in the water and drifted back down. We both found several small shark's teeth on that dive. You could put in at the little known boat landing that's right at the West edge of Ginnie and drift down to 47. That would be about 2 miles or so.
