She only needs 250 miles per day to finish before February 9. If she

Averaging 250 miles a day in a sailboat is not impossible but it is
definitely a significant challenge, and it will need some luck with
the winds and other conditions.

Great stuff!!! with an average vmg over 10kts her boat speed much be
much higher as an average.

Probably should comment, as expected:-) it's an Aussie boat:-) being
sailed by a great person.
