CAPTAIN'S LOG · DAY 4
THE CROSSING.
The voyage was no longer a departure. It had become a crossing.
By Day 4, the fleet had recorded 3,071,194 steps — approximately 1,996 kilometres. Greenland lay behind us while the North American mainland remained beyond the western horizon.
THE SEA BETWEEN TWO WORLDS.
AND OUR FLEET IN THE MIDDLE.
