Fortunately, the Dramamine wasn’t really necessary. It was windy and a little rough but the cruise out to the “Rock” wasn’t as bad as we feared. The evening tour gave us great night views of the city and a chance for a little different look at Alcatraz. In the audio cellblock tour we heard the voices of actual inmates describe their time at the Rock. Cells were small. Solitary was cold and damp. The greatest punishment was to be able to see what they were missing everyday just a little over a mile away across the bay.
