    > 2)  At an estimated speed of 8.4 Knots, how many days is the total

    > --  --------------------------------------------------------------
    70.0 days
            14112.8/8.4 = 1680.1 hrs
            1680.1/24 = 70.00 days
    > We will have a total of 8 crew when we depart Wellington. We estimate
    > water consumption at 2 gal/day per man (person). Food required is
    > estimated at 1 3/4 lbs/day per man.  Plus 50% in case of a slow

    > 3)  What is the total weight of food provisions for the trip?
    > --  ---------------------------------------------------------
    Assumption: "trip" means Wellington to Boston
    Assumption: emergency rations are 3/4 lb per day (as stated)
          and not 3/4 lb per day per person for 10 days
    1351.5 lbs
            Wellington to Boston: 12876.2 nmi (Rhumb Lines)
            12876.2/8.4 = 1532.9 hrs
            1532.9/24 = 63.9 days (use 64).
            1.50 * (8 * 64 * 1.75) + 10 * .75 = 1351.5
    4)  How long will the water tanks supply (See NOTE below) last?
    --  -----------------------------------------------------------
    13.75 days
            220 / (2 * 8) = 13.75
    > We can store an additional supply on deck in containers. We add 110
    > gals of water.
    > Our stop is at Wellington, New Zealand. The arrival waypoint is (40d
