Distance, night return, and tender reality
Use the route link and inspect the full return before leaving the boat.
Use a rideshare, cab, or prearranged pickup rather than improvising a dark bike return.
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.
