But again, very rare.

 

We've had it happen a couple of times (out of half a dozen or so Caribbean cruises) at Princess Cays which is a tender port.  Cancellation due to high winds isn't 'very rare'; it certainly happens a number of times in the season.

We've been scheduled to go to RC's Coco Cay about six times; we've been there once.

The National Weather Service Marine Forecast for today:

Bahamas including Cay Sal Bank-  

257 AM EST Sun Feb 2 2020    

TODAY  

NW to N winds 20 to 25 kt. (that's 12.5 to 15.5 mph)

Seas 6 to 8 ft.

 

Weathercrest (https://www.weathercrave.com/weather-forecast-bahamas/island-9671/weather-forecast-ocean-cay-msc-marine-reserve-hourly hourly predictions just for this morning:

 

 

your kts to mph conversion is incorrect.  1 kt = 1.15 miles.

 So 20 kts = 23 mph

Sorry, you are right!  Don't remember where I got the conversion calculator but as you show, the correct calculation was for even stronger winds.

My response was to missing DCL Castaway Cay which has a dock.
