Agreed. That was the distance I refered to first. The 1390 number was from measuring the distances of each of his various legs.

TDW—

The higher figure of 1390 is from measuring the distance sailed, since he was westing a bit more than optimal, it is a bit higher than the straight line figure of 1300 or so.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

No, but they do circle the bowl in the opposite direction when flushed.

It easier when the boat is actually going somewhere.
