ahoy matey, let's get to work...in style

This ferry is going to East 35th
Street. I get on/off at Wall
Street. How cool is it though?

This summer, I am "trying out" the ferry as a way of commuting into Manhattan from our home. It is glorious. No, it is better than glorious. I get to sleep later/exercise in the morning and I get to my destination quicker. I get to board a boat as my means of travel to the office. Who takes a frickin boat to work? I do (for the time being). The train was fun for the five and a half years I rode it, but now it is ferry time. My husband had to talk me into buying a pass for the month and boy, is he going to regret it. How can I get back on the train? I'm actually not sure I can. I have only been riding it for a week and a half, but let me tell you - it is very easy to get used to. I always fear I am going to get motion sickness, and my weak stomach was tested on an extremely foggy day last week, but I was fine! My dad works on a boat and always said to look at the horizon as a way to focus on something constant and stable. Well in super fog, there is no horizon. There is fog on fog on fog. I survived though and am ready to tackle any kind of weather. I don't want my ferry riding to end! I have three and a half months left and I am going to enjoy it while I can.
