I mentioned in a previous post, that on my departure, I would have help getting away from New York City to avoid the shipping traffic. Here is a quick look at the shipping traffic around New York City down to the Delaware.
This image was captured on the morning of March 15th, 2012. In this view, there are 137 ships. The ocean is a busy place!
That red ship in the lower right corner, is a Tanker. It is 261 nautical miles from Sandy Hook, NJ; my intended point of departure.
Maintaining a good watch, 24 hours a day is vital to the safety of Distant Horizon and her crew.
