When I was a teenager, c1947 I had an adventure in 16 foot wooden hulled
Wolverine motor boat with a 10 horsepower Mercury outboard engine,
docked in Little Neck Bay. A friend and I decided to circumnavigate
Manhattan Island. We headed West to the East River, South in the East
River, rounded the Battery, headed North up the Hudson River, around the
North end of Manhattan and then South on the Harlem and East Rivers to
complete the circle back.

Can you calculate the approximate distance traveled on that trip? It
would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's approximately 36 nautical miles (41 land miles).
