Traveling in waves, say

Answer:

ASEA

Hint:

Think of how sailors describe being on the open water during a voyage.

Explanation:

"Traveling in waves" hints at something moving like ocean waves, and "say" suggests this is a common phrase rather than literal travel. The answer "ASEA" plays on the phrase "at sea," meaning on the ocean, where waves naturally occur. It’s a clever way to combine the idea of waves with a nautical term."
