I play mostly without fast travel, and I feel stupid swimming out to Spectacle Island every time I go there. I could use a Vertibird to get there, but this also seems unnecessarily complicated. It amazes me that they didn't integrate something into the game to build a ferry between the two, but obviously they didn't, so I'm looking for other solutions. I'd love to be able to build a bridge between them. I've seen people do this with some complicated workarounds in the console and such, but this looks like an incredibly tedious process that I'd prefer to avoid. Can anyone recommend a mod that will allow me to expand the settlement radius of the two places such that they meet in the middle or anything like that? I'd love some recommendations.

You can fast travel.
