puts to sea
Departs the harbor
To put to sea is to leave port and begin a voyage.
Ships, boats, and their crews put to sea when they depart land for open water: The fleet puts to sea at dawn.
The phrase emphasizes the transition from harbor to ocean, often implying a significant journey rather than a casual trip.
