The ship is leaving the port and is heading to the United States.
I can't imagine being one of the crew. You can see the storm on the horizon. From almost every direction - especially the one that you are sailing into - there are dark clouds that are ready to erupt. The sea may be calm as you leave the harbour, but once you clear Sambro you just know that the open ocean is going to steadily give way to the heavy wind and rains.
Even in all of this, I feel there is nothing but optimism in the work. In the darkness the light only shines more brightly.
