1. Let’s just hope “back on land” does not mean a two-week (or more) quarantine in an military base. . .

2. All you’re gonna find is the torch of the Statue of Liberty sticking out of the sand.

3. That’s assuming they let you back on land :)

4. It’s rather on fire here. (Enjoy – I have a friend also “cooped up” on Nerdboat; hope they’re having as good a time.)

5. My office mate was just admiring my JoCo album “Some Guys” today. Hope your cruise is as chill and fun as the music.

6. Pictures of the Fancy Pants Parade?

7. Good example of social distancing, there.

8. that really is a lovely photo

9. Blue on blue with the sun out is hard to beat. Even blue on blue with no sun is. Enjoy.

10. Great shot John.
    For some reason it inspired a Jimmy Buffett earworm.
    really quite enjoyable

11. You don’t know the half of it…

12. Dude, ask the captain if you can just stay at sea… for awhile, Shit’s getting crazy on land.

13. Everything is now cancelled or postponed….

14. This reminds me of a previous pic you posted that used a nice horizon and colours. This one is nice too, but that other one could be made into a poster.

15. While you’re away Gov. DeWine just gave all Ohio schoolchildren a three week spring break and banned gatherings of 100+ people in the state.

17. There’s a tiny white sailboat on the right in that photo. I thought you were on a bigger boat…

18. JoCoCruise becomes On the Beach 2020.

19. You come by the love of the sea genetically.

    I have always loved going to sea. Spent a lot of time looking at the wake.

    Enjoy

20. Quarantine is an excuse to read more. There is that.

21. If nobody on the boat is sick, stay on that motherf….

22. Very idyllic. Glad you could enjoy it.
    However, I remember long months bobbing about in the North Atlantic with iron skies, heavy seas and occasional all hands on deck ice removal (USCG). It was not offset by a brief assignment to the Caribbean. That abolished all romance from sea travel for me.

23. There is a near identical image in The Economist (published today).

24. Best wishes for you to safely get back home .. Bradford is a good, quiet place to hunker down! ;)

25. So on these cruises, do you, Liz Phair, Aimee Mann, etc mingle with the common folk or are you in your own VIP area?

    (Not intending to cast any aspersions, just expressing how my mind insists it *surely* must be set up)

26. We just returned from a spring break cruise this week. School is now canceled, so the kids get another two weeks (at least) off. Their mom has to self-quarantine for two weeks before she’ll be allowed to return to work.

    Be aware, it’s a different world than the one you left. I’m sure it will go back to the way it was, though.

    Mostly.

    Eventually.
