2 Guys, a Boat, and 6,000 Nautical Miles
So, just what is 6,000 nautical miles, in Canadian landlubber’s context?
The circumference of the earth at the equator is approximately 21,600 nautical miles. This means we have covered the equivalent of roughly 27% of the earth!
The distance from St John’s, Newfoundland to Vancouver, B.C. (as the crow flies) is approximately 3,000 nautical miles. So, we have sailed from one end of Canada to the other!
Not bad for a couple of guys, a beautiful boat, a little courage, and lots of wind.
