Relevant Marinas
Note - Distances are miles on the water from the marina/launch point.
Aurora / SS Mazapeta / H&H Marina'
If you're on the SS Mazapeta / Aurora, this is where the ship / ferries will launch from / return to, and is where the ferries will run from. Note that the marina itself is closed, boat launch overgrown with weeds, and the parking area locked off. It's still possible to park nearby and launch small vessels (kayaks, etc.) from a small launch a mile or so further down the road.
