Each choose one object the other must see, then trade the reasons over coffee, wine, or a Foss waterfront meal.
Distance, night return, and tender reality
Walk or e-bike the central Foss/museum core in daylight; use transit or a car for separated districts.
Rideshare or cab to the marina. Do not plan a dark e-bike return through port or industrial streets.
Land only at a confirmed public or marina-designated Foss dock. Do not assume museum, restaurant, or private-marina floats accept unattended tenders.
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.
