Don't be so defensive Bob... 75 miles in a 12 hour time frame is a real
push. You seem to be routing like a power boater. Average speed over
distance as opposed to the total distance over ground due to wind and
tacks. A 75 mile distance can easily add up to 100 miles distance sailed.
Consider that 120 miles in a 24 hour period is considered good time when
ocean sailing.

Considering your "day" is 12 hours [ sunrise to sunset avg.]... There is no
way you can make it in "well under a day". You'd make it in a day if you
started very early and dropped hook very late.

Where's the mpeg of a well tuned boat on a reach with a free helm Bob????

| 75 miles, Mooron. Take a pill. "Success" is a pretty strong word. We could
