@sarabee1995 that’s a nice jaunt
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@JavaJoe Yup. Done the round trip a few times now.

@sarabee1995 that’s no easy feat. Good thing you’re young. 😉

@JavaJoe Driving it is easy. I've also done this trip by water.

@sarabee1995 which way is quicker?
sarabee1995 · 26-30, F
@JavaJoe Is that a serious question? The drive, as you can see above, is about eight hours without stops. The sail took me almost eight days.

@sarabee1995 oh wow. Thought it could be faster in a speedboat. So yes. That was a serious question.

@JavaJoe Hmmm ... Average 65 miles/hour in a car. Much more direct route in a car (over a hundred miles further by boat).

Plus, I was in a sailboat, not a speedboat.

@sarabee1995 I guess traffic doesn’t even factor in to that 🤭

@JavaJoe Well sure. Getting around NYC as any time of day is not fun, but if you time it right it's not too bad. 🤷‍♀️
