Dock wisdom

·

Morning trips get the calmest water and the most active dolphin pods in the channel.

·

Most tour and charter boats leave from the downtown boat harbor at Fisherman's Wharf.

·

The free ferry line can run long on summer weekends, ride it early or late.

·

Deep-sea snapper runs go long and far offshore, an early start and motion meds pay off.
