Crossed the Atlantic!

This trip across the Atlantic was a lot shorter than the "normal" crossing from the U.S/New York to the UK which takes a week (3200 miles). Since South America is further East than New York and Africa is further West, it only took 3 days (1700 miles).

The Atlantic Ocean, the second largest, covers 20% of the Earth's surface!

At its deepest point (Milwaukee Deep by Puerto Rico) it is 27,500 feet deep.
The warm, moist air of the southern Atlantic ocean often brings rain, hurricanes and other challenging weather and fog to the East Coast of the US. (Nor'easters).
[Note: Thats why we moved West after 60 years].

Of course, the Atlantic is home to a very wide range of sea-life including lobsters, whales, sharks, seals and dolphins and tons of species of fish. There are also dozens of species of birds including seagulls, albatross and penguins.

The Atlantic is one of the worlds heaviest trafficked sea routes between Eastern and Western hemispheres.Meer informatie
