Traveling on the Ferry

I am going to backtrack a bit now. On Tuesday I headed up to Maine. I like taking the Cross Sound Ferry from Orient Point, NY to Bridgeport, CT. It makes the distance I have to drive shorter and it is such a nice ride. I arrived at the ferry terminal early enough to sip some coffee and sketch the view out the window of my car. The other cars were lined up waiting for them to unload the ferry that had come the other way.


Once on board I found an interesting view to sketch. The lifeboats really attracted me.
