We are getting close. On the noon update, the captain said we were 150 miles southeast of Nantucket. Nearly 6pm, we are getting close. Very interesting that ships have a local pilot board the ship to guide them in to the NY harbour. The Captain also let us know that if we are up at that time (3:45 am) don't be surprised to see US sea marshalls also join the ship as this is standard procedure. Yikes!
Another sign we are getting close, saw some seagulls on my afternoon jog. The only birds I had seen until then were sea birds that fly very close to the water. And then this in the fog on the horizon:
We quickly passed it even though we have slowed considerably. The QM2 is apparently one of the fastest ships at sea.
We are getting into busy seas.
By the way, the sun decks were busy today despite occassional haze/fog. It was very pleasant out there.
