A pleasant one hour tour of the harbor. Charlie did a swell job of pointing out and describing the various points of interest. If you go, sit on the port side of the ship.

We had an incredible time on the cruise. We had an excellent guide with good knowledge of the surrounding area. We also saw some sea lions from the boat in the sound before leaving. Great job by the entire crew.
