Distance, night return, and tender reality

Road / marine contextUse the exact map for a live road-distance check
Best boat baseChoose the nearest confirmed marina or legal anchorage
From that baseDistance varies by the named start point
Ride/cab planning rangeCheck a live fare before committing; no dependable local planning range was available
In daylight

Use the route link and inspect the full return before leaving the boat.

After dark

Use a rideshare, cab, or prearranged pickup rather than improvising a dark bike return.

Dinghy landing

Do not assume shore access. Use only a confirmed public or marina-designated landing.

The prominent crow-flight mileage is a geographic comparison from Jerisich Dock, not a route distance. Road, marine, time, and fare figures here are planning ranges, not live quotes. The named dock panel uses verified landing information where available; otherwise it explicitly tells you to confirm before relying on it.
