Simplest approach
Choose an Albany town and waterfront outing for a shorter day. Make the Historic Whaling Station the main alternative with an agreed driver pickup and enough museum time; additional coastal viewpoints should remain within the coordinated road route.

Practical notes
Accessibility
Check museum access across outdoor exhibits and the preserved ship. A suitable return vehicle and a shorter town route may be preferable to a large outlying site.
Weather
Wind and rain can make waterfront stops less comfortable. Use the museum or a shorter local route when conditions deteriorate, and check any boat or road operation before departure.
