Sadly, your calculations are off. It's 100 miles straight. Jibing (the
wind was from the NW) makes it more like 120 miles at least, and that's if
you can steer a perfectly straight course. At 2.5 mph that's 48 hours of
sailing. 8 hours of actual sailing a day plus getting into/out of
anchorages/guest slips and eating lunch on the water, that's 6 days. 10
hours of sailing a day plus the above is nearly 5 days. I was the only one
on board and it was storming with 12 foot swells.. I wasn't going to be out
there more than 10 hours a day. With the motor it took 3 full days.

Thanks for your input.
