The tower is only 30 minutes from NEL — IS minutes by car to the dock facilities at 

 Quivira Basin, Mission Bay, and another 15 minutes by boat to the tower. Yet it is far 

 enough from shore and populated areas to provide a natural undisturbed open-sea en- 

 vironment. Because it is outside lanes of heavy commercial ship traffic, the tower 

 presents a minimum navigational hazard.
