I "sailed" my boat, when I first got her, from LA Harbor to San Diego

I was determined to use sail only the whole way, but when I realized
that
sail was powering me at 2-3 mph and my motor was powering me at 5-6
mph, my
mind quickly changed. I just didn't have the time to sit there for
nearly a
week to try to get the boat down here.

Let's see, it's about 75 miles from LA to San Diego, so sailing @ 2.5
knots would have gotten you there in about 30 hours, not nearly a week.
At 5 knots the trip would be 15 hours, so by motoring the whole way
you saved a half a day. Hopefully you'll "have the time" to enjoy
sailing that passage someday.
