Quick gut-check: we've only got a 2–3 hour window and my camera itch says "squeeze in the Canal," but I don't want the whole ride to turn into slow crawling under bridges and clock-watching. Has anyone done a short slot where you still felt relaxed and got a couple of clean frames, or is it smarter to keep to Marina/Palm, lock two scenic angles, and save the Canal for a dedicated outing? I'm trying to plan without overstuffing the route.
