I think the reply meant that they would be departing in two weeks--not making the trip in two weeks.

I think the OP intended it to mean "preparation time is two weeks". I guess the prep time depends on how the boat is normally used. I could prep my boat for an extended voyage in three days.

I have mentioned in earlier posts that we prepared a new-to-us boat that we'd never been aboard before for a trans-Pac crossing in two weeks.
