Boat Traffic

I was discussing ocean passages with my dad when he expressed concern about how we will be all alone at sea. I know for a fact that there are thousands of boats out there, not necessarily will they be on our exact route, however, they are indeed out there. This screenshot from a marine traffic website proves this (keep in mind that this is zoomed way out, so a lot of the icons disappear):

That's A LOT of vessel traffic! Of course, I know that this is not exact timing, however, it just goes to show that there will be more than just our vessel out there while on a passage. So dad, and all of our family and friends, we will not be alone! =)
