sailandoar is on a distinguished road
70 mi/day is considered a lot

We can average 70+ mi/day but that is considered a lot. 45 to 55 miles would be a more common average. Figure 10 hours running and your average speed would be ??? 5.5 knots ??? , Our average on the GA , SC coast with unpredictable currents (with you one moment and against you the next) was 7.3 knots over several hundred miles. We are rather slippery and have only 22HP (Sabb) with a 35' waterline and 10.5' beam.
