We figured our ruhm line from Carriacou(just outside the Sister's Rocks) to St. Vincent(near Barroualie) first. We don't plan to stop in St. Vincent so we will not be able to contact anybody from there. This is just our course. The True or Dead Reconing is 18 deg. the variation is -15.2 so if yousubtract 18- -15.2 =33.2deg as our Magnetic compass heading. Following our ruhm line from Carriacou to St Vincent is approximately 56 miles. To figure how long it will take: 60D=ST or 60 times distance equals speed times time. So 60(56)/4=840min or 14hours that is assuming we go 4knots and follow the ruhm line exactly, which is very unrealistic but gives us an idea. Our total miles from Carriacou to Martinique is ~140. So figuring that into the equation is 60(140)/4=3000min or 35 hours.
So if we leave at 3am we should arrive at Martinique at about 2pm (a day and a half later) give or take about 24 hours because we will probably have to tack back and forth a little and we might go slower especially behind islands, but then we might go faster between the islands.
Not sure when we will leave yet, Zach is checking with customs now to find out the deal (fee's and so forth).
Once we check out we have 24 hours to leave. I will try to post right before we leave if i get internet.
U have to check in and out at each island because they r all different countries.
