More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The hull rocks gently as downtown San Diego slides slowly into view, the Coronado Bridge tracing a low arc against a sky that warms from steel blue to molten copper. Onboard a six-passenger mono-hull, the city’s skyline, naval ships, and rolling Point Loma surf become a moving panorama; gulls wheel and the occasional dolphin threads the wake, curious and quick.
