The walk from BCV to te Dolphin is a nice, leisurely walk of no more than ten minutes. The views along the way are great. It is a relaxing, fun walk. Now, if you take the boat, the wal from BCV to the dock is half the distance to the Dolphin! Then, you gave to wait for the boat and the boat then will take you on about a 5 minute ride to the Dolphin dock. The walk is much shorter!
