Contrary to popular belief, boats are actually much safer than cars, which inexplicably sink every time you drive them on water. Take a proper water road ride with today's Groupon: for $10, you get two round-trip tickets on the McNabs Island Ferry, operating out of Fisherman's Cove (up to a $24 value). The McNabs Island Ferry offers island trekkers a three to four minute scenic crossing along the Eastern Passage to and from the island from the cozy cocoon of Fisherman's Cove. The vessel's red-bearded sea sage, Mike Tilley, offers a flexible schedule that allows passengers to choose when he shouts all aboard and when he starts the shrimp jousting. Upon island arrival, Captain Red Beard can provide day-trippers with an orientation and suggestions for hike routes and times. Free parking is also available.
