Table of Courses

Saturday, June 12 through Friday, June 19, 1986

Computed table of courses for the Transfer Trip. These are not the actual courses run, but were constructed by calculating the true course and distance between major waypoints of the trip. The times shown are approximate, and are while close, are not the actual times of arrival or departure from the waypoints.

They give an estimate of the distance sailed and speed made good on all the major legs of the voyage. There is additional time and distance to be sailed from the marina or anchorage to the starting waypoint, and from the finish waypoint to the marina or anchorage. These legs add approximately 0.5 hours to each end of the day's sailing.
