Default St. Johns river (New Brunswick) question

Terry K ,, at the schedule you just posted; the trip to Fredericton and
back to St John is a one month journey.

Does it take two weeks to get from St John to Fredericton? I looked on
google and it is about 90 miles from St John to Fredericton.

I would think; 60*D=S*T
60*90=5*T
should take : 18 hours

60*90=5400
divided by 5kts per hour

equal = 1080 minutes
equal 1080 divide by 60 = 18 hours of cruising at 5 kts per hour

18 divide by 6 hours per day = 3 days

Am I missing something? I would think Roger would be able to get to
Fredericton in 3 days, spend 3 days at the festival and then 3-4 days return
to St John.

The whole trip would be less than two weeks.

Is that what you are saying?

Sailors know that the journey is the goal. Spending 2 weeks going up,
festivalling for 4-5 days, then sailing down in the fall colours is
worth the time. Bring a camera.

I use a cable ferry to get to my mooring. Steel clothesline lets me
find the mooring every spring, and dragging the float out to the
mooring is a snap.
