Following her past or passed . . .

Hello. Please have a look at this sentence for me:

He started following her past Bill’s yacht towards her car.

Is "past" right there, being used as an adverb to modify "following," or should it be "passed"?

Thank you.

Yes, but past is a preposition, not an adverb, heading the PP past Bill’s yacht, which modifies following.
