Comments on: Stranded in Georgetown http://www.theworldbysea.com/stranded-in-georgetown/ An audio and video podcast of my trip hitchhiking around the world by sea. Tue, 08 Mar 2011 20:11:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: David http://www.theworldbysea.com/stranded-in-georgetown/comment-page-1/#comment-37 David Thu, 17 Jan 2008 16:11:24 +0000 http://www.theworldbysea.com/stranded-in-georgetown/#comment-37 According to my calculations: You set sail November 31 = Mile Zero. As of January 15 you are in Georgetown, Bahamas = Mile 310. This means you are averaging 6.45 miles per day. You have posted 9 posts in that same time equaling one post every 5.3 days. The earth is 24,901.55 miles around at the equator, this is assuming a straight line. Yacht racing defines a world circumnavigation to be a passage of at least 21,600 nautical miles in length which crosses the equator, crosses every meridian in the same direction and finishes in the same port as it starts. At your current rate of speed it will take you 3861 days and 772 blog posts to accomplish your task. I suggest you speed it up a bit. According to my calculations:

I've started playing the lottery so i can help support your cause. I'll let you know when I hit the big one and you'll get to The Dominican eventually. I'm sure of it!

Enjoy this relatively sleepy season . . . the children will still need you when you get there. At just the right time. Yeah, what a gift that you guys has to return to Georgetown.
