LIVE CLOCKDock wisdom
New London is a major ferry port -- the Cross Sound, Block Island and Fishers Island boats all leave from the downtown waterfront.
Long Island Sound is calm and protected, so the crossings are easy even for first-timers.
Book the Block Island Express ahead in summer; it is a popular day trip and sells out.
The lighthouse-and-seal cruises are best in fall and winter when seals gather on the offshore ledges.
