"A good sailing time for the 3,275 miles to this point would have been around 21 days; however, an unlucky ship could spend up to three weeks crossing the doldrums" --- is this some kind of joke? Even my dog knows 21 days equals 3 weeks [Unsigned]

If the passage is read carefully, it means that a good sailing time from England is 21 days, then an additional 3 weeks might be needed to pass through the doldrums to the S trade winds --mervyn 15:25, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
