At sea, Atlantic Ocean & Chesapeake Bay
Today we took time to make the journey from New York to Washington DC. By land, as the American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos flies, this is a distance of a little over 200 miles. Most people would see this as a one hour flight, a three hour train journey or a four hour drive. By sea, traveling at a leisurely 15 miles per hour and on a route that is definitely not the most direct, the journey takes more than a day.
During our journey through Atlantic waters and into the Chesapeake Bay we watch for wildlife from the bridge or relax on deck. Occasionally the ship is accompanied by bow-riding bottlenose dolphins or a migrating warbler. In an increasingly fast-paced world, it is a pleasure to spend a day at sea, especially on a calm, sunny day such as today. We have the opportunity to take time to appreciate the distance and allow for a transition as we move from the hustle of New York to Washington DC. We have time to process the events of yesterday and anticipate what tomorrow will bring.
