Sensibilities and regulations vary in different places. What seems a right to us might be a privilege just across the border.

Horseshoe Bay/Snug Cove are maybe 7 miles from Jericho - how'd you get 20-25 nm? Where did you go on the part way? More important, how long were you out on these trips - ie. what was the speed made good?
