We use zodiacs (just one this year, but planning for 2 or 3 next year) so it's completely open to the elements, which some people prefer and others do not. Because they're not enclosed they're a bit more flexible for things like bicycles, and because they're flat-bottomed they can land on beaches, which none of the other water taxi/charter boats can do, as far as I'm aware. They're also much more fuel efficient than heavier boats so they're quite cheap to operate.

I don't think Lawlor's island is open to the public - in any case there's no dock. However, you can basically just walk over from Eastern Passage at low tide - the Passage gets insanely shallow and Lawlor's is very close.
I thought about swimming or wading over to Lawlors but they have signs up warning of dangerous currents and I wasn't sure how deep it got so I chickened out lol.

Don't ask people not to debate a topic. Just stop making debatable assertions. Problem solved.
