Yep it is - and I did that on purpose because I didn't want it to be too easy But if you swim out to the boat from the shore instead of walking to it via the ruins, you will more than likely be able to get to it and 'row away' before they can get to you... The boat in Dawnstar is pretty safe, and I only really expected people to travel one way if they spawn on Solstheim.
I suppose you might mean that you travelled to Solstheim via the boat in Dawnstar rather than the other way around and then got ambushed by the bandits? Again, best way to avoid them is to jump into the sea and swim to shore The mod was really made for people who use Random Alternate Start and spawn on Solstheim (as there is no way back to Tamriel without using the console) - I didn't think that people who didn't use RAS would want to install this mod...
I could always add a couple more boats at different locations if there is a demand for it?
Maybe not so much other locations, maybe just remove the dependency on RAS. I'm using Alternate Start - Live Another Life in combination with another mod that lets you start on Solstheim, so still being able to use this mod for transit between the game areas would be great, doesn't have to be easy, that's what makes it fun.
The RAS requirement is not essential the mod will work without it - I only put the requirement in so those using RAS would be able to see that this mod is available :)
