It can actually take up to 12 hours. Bring your sunscreen!!!
The oldest wooden paddle-boat ferry still in normal operation. It crosses the Susquehanna River at Millersburg, Pennsylvania.
Here in Porto Belo you can jump into a typical fishermen boat that will take for a tour around Porto Belo Island and to many white sand beaches scattered around the peninsula.

A huge natural harbor, the San Francisco Bay runs from north of the city all the way south to Palo Alto.
The Valhalla is a big, blue 75-foot sailing yacht, worth 300.000 dollars.
The ship-owner and Captain is Dennis, a 50 year old flamboyant American.
