I think the boat option (only runs in one direction - CW or CCW) only is available after 2 or 3pm.
Best bet is to cart down to the HDDR/TE (Settlement Bus Depot) end of the Fort and take a bus, as
@fla4fun sez, from Settlement Bus Depot to WL which runs about every 10-15 minutes. And back for the return.
WATCH the overhead sign boards of the buses as they pull into Settlement. They may come in saying ONE THANG and when the are ready to load passenger at Settlement, the overhead may say ANOTHER. Don't be afraid to ask the driver "where are you going next"? They've heard it all before and don't mind the question.
